“Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.”

“Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.”

“Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”

“I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless.”

“Light sorrows speak, but deeper ones are dumb.”

“Nothing gold can stay.”

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”

“After great pain, a formal feeling comes.”

“'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
