Whittier

Famous quotes containing the word whittier:

    O Time and Change!—with hair as gray
    As was my sire’s that winter day,
    How strange it seems, with so much gone
    Of life and love, to still live on!
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    All too soon these feet must hide
    In the prison cells of pride,
    Lose the freedom of the sod,
    Like a colt’s for work be shod,
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “Here me, neighbors!” at last he cried,—
    “What to me is this noisy ride?
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
