Famous quotes containing the word cullen:
“So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“Gaze on them, till the tears shall dim thy sight,
But keep that earlier, wilder image bright.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“Thine eyes shall see the light of distant skies:
Yet, Cole! thy heart shall bear to Europe’s strand
A living image of our own bright land,
Such as upon thy glorious canvas lies;”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
