Bryant

Famous quotes containing the word bryant:

    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.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    on thy brow
    Shall sit a nobler grace than now.
    Deep in the brightness of the skies
    The thronging years in glory rise.
    And, as they fleet,
    Drop strength and riches at thy feet.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Another hand thy sword shall wield,
    Another hand the standard wave,
    Till from the trumpet’s mouth is pealed
    The blast of triumph o’er thy grave.
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
