Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or arnold:

    Tangled was I in Love’s snare.
    Oppressed with pain, torment with care;
    Of grief right sure, of joy quite bare,
    Clean in despair by cruelty.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    But—if you cannot give us ease—
    Last of the race of them who grieve
    Here leave us to die out with these
    Last of the people who believe!
    Silent, while years engrave the brow;
    Silent—the best are silent now.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
