More Quotes from Erasmus Darwin:
Organic life beneath the shoreless waves Was born and nurs'd in ocean's pearly caves First forms minute, unseen by spheric glass, Move on the mud, or pierce the watery mass These, as successive generations bloom, New powers acquire and larger limbs assume Whence countless groups of vegetation spring, And breathing realms of fin and feet and wing.Erasmus Darwin
Stroke follow strokes, the sparkling ingot shines, Flows the red slag, the lengthening bar refines Cold waves, immersed, the glowing mass congeal, And turn to adamant the hissing Steel.
Erasmus Darwin
No radiant pearl which crested Fortune wears, No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's ears, Not the bright stars which Night's blue arch adorn, Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn, Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows Down Virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.
Erasmus Darwin
Hear him, ye Senates, hear this truth sublime; He who allows oppression shares the crime.
Erasmus Darwin
