Cullen

Famous quotes containing the word cullen:

    Ah! never shall the land forget
    How gushed the life-blood of her brave—
    Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
    Upon the soil they fought to save.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Thus change the forms of being. Thus arise
    Races of living things, glorious in strength,
    And perish, as the quickening breath of God
    Fills them, or is withdrawn.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    When beechen buds begin to swell,
    And woods the blue-bird’s warble know,
    The yellow violet’s modest bell
    Peeps from the last year’s leaves below.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
