Here come the hum the golden bees
Underneath full blossomed trees,
At once with glowing fruit and flowers crowned.

There is no bore we dread being left alone with so much as our own minds.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us; The beggar is taxed for a corner to die in, The priest hath his fee who comes and shrives us, We bargain for the graves we lie in; Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold... 'T is heaven alone that is given away, 'T is only God may be had for the asking; There is no price set on the lavish summer, And June may be had by the poorest comer.

James Lowell 598 quotes

Over our manhood bend the skies; Against our fallen and traitor lives The great winds utter prophecies; With our faint hearts the mountain strives, Its arms outstretched, the druid wood Waits with its benedicite And to our ageВ's drowsy blood Still shouts the inspiring sea.

[B]ut in literature, it should be remembered, a thing always becomes his at last who says it best, and thus makes it his own.

The time is ripe, and rotten-ripe, for change; Then let it come: I have no dread of what Is called for by the instinct of mankind. Nor think I that God's world would fall apart Because we tear a parchment more or less. Truth is eternal, but her effluence, With endless change, is fitted to the hour; Her mirror is turned forward, to reflect The promise of the future, not the past. I do not fear to follow out the truth...

James Lowell 598 quotes

Now the heart is so full that ...

Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills it, We are happy now because God so wills it; No matter how barren the past may have been, 'T is enough for us now that the leaves are green; We sit in the warm shade and feel right well How the sap creeps up and the blossoms swell... The breeze comes whispering in our ear, That dandelions are blossoming near... Every thing is upward striving; 'T is as easy now for the heart to be true As for grass to be green or skies to be blue, Ђ' 'T is the natural way of living.

Ah, in this world, where every guiding thread Ends suddenly in the one sure centre, death, The visionary hand of Might-have-been Alone can fill Desire's cup to the brim!

And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.

What men call luck Is the prerogative of valiant souls, The fealty life pays its rightful kings.

Whom the heart of man shuts out, Sometimes the heart of God takes in, And fences them all round about With silence mid the worlds loud din.

That love for one, from which there doth not spring Wide love for all, is but a worthless thing.

Ah, men do not know how much strength is in poise, That he goes the farthest who goes far enough.

This imputation of inconsistency is one to which every sound politician and every honest thinker must sooner or later subject himself. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion.
