Thomas Hood Quotes
But who would rush at a benighted man, and give him two black eyes for being blind?.
A moment of thinking is an hour of words.
Seemed washing his hands with invisible soap In imperceptible water.
It was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast:
It was the time of roses
We pluck'd them as we pass'd
Apothegms form a short cut to much knowledge
A name, it has more than nominal worth,
And belongs to good or bad luck at birth
There's a double beauty whenever a swan
Swims on a lake with her double thereon
A moment's thinking is an hour in words.
O God ! that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap!
How bless'd the heart that has a friend
A sympathizing ear to lend
To troubles too great to smother?
For as ale and porter, when flat, are restor'd
Till a sparkling, bubbling head they afford,
So sorrow is cheer'd by being pour'd
From one vessel into another.
