Remembrance

Famous quotes containing the word remembrance:

    I have been told, that in some public discourses of mine my reverence for the intellect has made me unjustly cold to the personal relations. But now I almost shrink at the remembrance of such disparaging words. For persons are love’s world, and the coldest philosopher cannot recount the debt of the young soul wandering here in nature to the power of love, without being tempted to unsay, as treasonable to nature, aught derogatory to the social instincts.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... The glamour
    Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance ...
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    My love to Hermia,
    Melted as the snow, seems to me now
    As the remembrance of an idle gaud
    Which in my childhood I did dote upon.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
