Quotes
Her lakes are oceans, every stream a bay, Wide through her frame its branching artery throws:Her mountains kiss the moon: her sapient sway A beauteous belt hath wrought, whose ties encloseTribes without end, realm after realm embracedIn Freedom's opening arms, the savage and the waste.
Niagara. A Poem (New York: J. Seymour, 1822), st. xii, p. 16
The Odes of Pindar (1822, 1831)
London: John Murray
Virtue’s achievement, Folly’s crime, Whate’er of guilt or good the past has known,Not e’en the Sire of all things, mighty Time, Hath power to change, or make the deed undone.
Olympian Odes, ii, 29
O’er woes long wept Oblivion softly lays Her shadowy veil.
Olympian Odes, ii, 34
And Wealth, more bright with Virtue joined, Brings golden Opportunity.
Olympian Odes, ii, 96
The lofty lucre of renown.
Isthmian Odes, i, 62
