Hamilton Gray

Famous quotes containing the words hamilton and/or gray:

    None but a poet can write a tragedy. For tragedy is nothing less than pain transmuted into exaltation by the alchemy of poetry.
    —Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)

    I had a good talk with Alcott this afternoon. He is certainly the youngest man of his age we have seen,—just on the threshold of life. When I looked at his gray hairs, his conversation sounded pathetic; but I looked again, and they reminded me of the gray dawn.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
