History of Hamilton

Famous quotes containing the words history of, history and/or hamilton:

    In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A people without history
    Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
    Of timeless moments.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Earth that bore with joyful ease
    Hemlock for Socrates,
    Earth that blossomed and was glad
    ‘Neath the cross that Christ had,
    Shall rejoice and blossom too
    When the bullet reaches you.
    —Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)
