William Wetmore Story Quotes

«On the broken stem of dreamsOnly disappointments grow.»
«The rain keeps constantly raining,And the sky is cold and gray,And the wind in the trees keeps complainingThat summer has passed away; --»
«But the gray and the cold are hauntedBy a beauty akin to pain, --By a sense of a something wanted,That never will come again.»
«I dream of the purple gloryOf the roseate mountain-heightAnd the sweet-to-remember storyOf a distant and clear delight.»
«Hate me an hour, and then turn roundAnd love me truly, just one minute.»
«Give me the old enthusiasms back,Give me the ardent longings that I lack, --The glorious dreams that fooled me in my youth,The sweet mirage that lured me on its track. . . .»
«Those black eyes I once so praisedNow are hard and sharp and cold;Where's the love that through them blazed?Where's the tenderness of old?»
«The hymn of the low and the humble, the weary, the broken in heart,Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part.»
«Do I hate you? No! Not hate?Hate's a word far too intense,Too alive, to speak a stateOf supreme indifference.»
«What looks like swindling with a petty sum,Is on a grand and speculative scaleHonest enough, so it be large enough.»
