Famous quotes containing the words cullen bryant, cullen and/or bryant:

    And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief;
    —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.

    So they, who climb to wealth, forget
    The friends in darker fortunes tried.
    I copied them—but I regret
    That I should ape the ways of pride.
