Utopias are often just premature truths.

And when night, guiding her bright train of stars, Throws o'er the sleeping world her gloomy veil, Lonely amidst the desert and the darkness, Musing upon the night's calm majesty; Wrapt up in quietness, with shade and silence, My soul more closely worshippeth Thy presence; With an internal day I feel enlighten'd, And hear a voice, which biddeth me to hope.

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

All nature is the temple; earth the altar.

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

What is our life but a success...

What is our life but a succession of preludes to that unknown song whose first solemn note is sounded by death?

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

What mortal is there, over who...

What mortal is there, over whose first joys and happiness does not break some storm, dispelling with its icy breath his fanciful illusions, and shattering his altar?

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

Soul of the universe, Sire, Go...

Soul of the universe, Sire, God, Creator, Lord, I believe in Thee, 'neath all these names: And without having need to hear thy word, In the sky's brow my glorious creed I trace.

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

Shall not this bygone Eden that we knew In our Eternal Life have shape and hue? For where Time is not shall not all Time be? In that calm breast whereto our souls are cleaving Shall we not find our loved ones beyond grieving About the hearth-stone of Eternity?

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

Death, with funereal shades in...

Death, with funereal shades in vain surrounds me, My reason through his darkness seeth light: 'Tis the last step which brings me close to Thee: 'Tis the veil falling, 'twixt Thy face and mine.

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

The People will not allow them...

The People will not allow themselves to be changed into hogs by the Circes of Atheism. Their souls will flash indignation against their transformers. A day will come when they will see that they are impoverished under the pretext of being enriched; that, when they are robbed of their souls and of God, both their titles to liberty are stolen from them.

Republicanism and ignorance are in bitter antagonism.

Void of freedom, what would virtue be?

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

We cannot have two hearts, one...

We cannot have two hearts, one for the animals and one for men. In cruelty towards the former and cruelty to the latter there is no difference but in the victim.

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

Nature has given women two pai...

Nature has given women two painful but heavenly gifts, which distinguish them, and often raise them above human nature,--compassion and enthusiasm. By compassion, they devote themselves; by enthusiasm they exalt themselves.

Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.

Alphonse Lamartine 148 quotes

The death of a man's wife is l...

The death of a man's wife is like cutting down an ancient oak that has long shaded the family mansion. Henceforth the glare of the world, with its cares and vicissitudes falls upon the old widower's heart, and there is nothing to break their force, or shield him from the full weight of misfortune. It is as if his right hand were withered; as if one wing of his angel was broken, and every movement that he made brought him to the ground.

Civil wars leave nothing but tombs.

Virginity is the poetry, not the reality, of life.

Women have much more heart and much more imagination than men; hence, fancy often allures them.
