Bryant

Famous quotes containing the word bryant:

    Man hath no part in all this glorious work:
    The hand that built the firmament hath heaved
    And smoothed these verdant swells, and sown their slopes
    With herbage,
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Pure was thy life; its bloody close
    Hath placed thee with the sons of light,
    Among the noble host of those
    Who perished in the cause of Right.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    So they, who climb to wealth, forget
    The friends in darker fortunes tried.
    I copied them—but I regret
    That I should ape the ways of pride.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
