All this I bear, for, what I seek, I know Peace, peace is what I seek, and public calm Endless extinction of unhappy hates.
More Quotes from Matthew Arnold:
Too quick despairer, wherefore wilt thou go Soon will the high midsummer pomps come on.Matthew Arnold
In his poetry as well as in his life Shelley was indeed 'a beautiful and ineffectual angel', beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.
Matthew Arnold
But is a calm like this, in truth,
The crowning end of life and youth,
And when this boon rewards the dead,
Are all debts paid, has all been said?
Matthew Arnold
If experience has established any one thing in this world, it has established this that it is well for any great class and description of men in society to be able to say for itself what it wants, and not to have other classes, the so-called educated and intelligent classes, acting for it as its proctors, and supposed to understand its wants and to provide for them. A class of men may often itself not either fully understand its wants, or adequately express them but it has a nearer interest and a more sure diligence in the matter than any of its proctors, and therefore a better chance of success.
Matthew Arnold
Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?
Matthew Arnold
Tears washed the trouble from her face!
Matthew Arnold
