Cowper

Famous quotes containing the word cowper:

    By contemplation’s help,not sought in vain,
    I seem t’ have liv’d my childhood o’er again;
    To have renew’d the joys that once were mine,

    O that those lips had language! Life has passed
    With me but roughly since I heard thee last.
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    A man renowned for repartee
    Will seldom scruple to make free
    With friendship’s finest feeling,
    Will thrust a dagger at your breast,
    And say he wounded you in jest,
    By way of balm for healing.
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
