Nor bring, to see me cease to live,
Some doctor full of phrase and fame,
To shake his sapient head, and give
The ill he cannot cure a name.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Be neither saint nor sophist-led, but be a man.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

If an historian be an unbelie...

If an historian be an unbeliever in all heroism, if he be a man who brings every thing down to the level of a common mediocrity, depend upon it, the truth is not found in such a writer.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Was Christ a man like us?-Ah!...

Was Christ a man like us?-Ah! let us try If we then, too, can be such men as he!

Years hence, perhaps, may dawn an age, More fortunate, alas! than we, Which without hardness will be sage, And gay without frivolity.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Whoever sets himself to see things as they are will find himself one of a very small circle but it is only by this small circle resolutely doing its own work that adequate ideas will ever get current at all.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

The interpretations of scienc...

The interpretations of science do not give us this intimate sense of objects as the interpretations of poetry give it; they appeal to a limited faculty, and not to the whole man. It is not Linnaeus or Cavendish or Cuvier who gives us the true sense of animals, or water, or plants, who seizes their secret for us, who makes us participate in their life; it is Shakspeare [sic] … Wordsworth … Keats … Chateaubriand … Senancour.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Tis not to see the world As f...

Tis not to see the world As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes, And heart profoundly stirred; And weep, and feel the fullness of the past, The years that are not more.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Good poetry does undoubtedly ...

Good poetry does undoubtedly tend to form the soul and character; it tends to beget a love of beauty and of truth in alliance together, it suggests, however indirectly, high and noble principles of action, and it inspires the emotion so helpful in making principles operative.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

It is - last stage of all Whe...

It is - last stage of all When we are frozen up within, and quite The phantom of ourselves To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost Which blamed the living man

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

On the breast of that huge Mississippi of falsehood called History, a foam-bell more or less is no consequence.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Where great whales come sailing by, Sail and sail, with unshut eye, Round the world for ever and aye.

Say, has some wet bird-haunted English lawn Lent it the music of its trees at dawn?

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

What really dissatisfies in A...

What really dissatisfies in American civilisation is the want of the interesting, a want due chiefly to the want of those two great elements of the interesting, which are elevation and beauty.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Genius is mainly an affair of...

Genius is mainly an affair of energy, and poetry is mainly an affair of genius; therefore a nation whose spirit is characterized by energy may well be imminent in poetry - and we have Shakespeare.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost Which blamed the living man.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

I keep saying, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, you are as obscure as life is.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Thou waitest for the spark from heaven! and we, Light half-believers in our casual deeds . . . Who hesitate and falter life away, And lose tomorrow the ground won today- Ah, do not we, Wanderer, await it too?

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

The sea of faith Was once, to...

The sea of faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world.

Matthew Arnold 296 quotes

Sand-strewn caverns, cool and...

Sand-strewn caverns, cool and deep, Where the winds are all asleep; Where the spent lights quiver and gleam; Where the salt weed sways in the stream.
