James Aldrich quotes

God gives us ministers of love, Which we regard not, being near; Death takes them from us, then we feel That angels have been with us here! (James Aldrich)
Her suffering ended with the day, Yet lived she at its close, And breathed the long, long night away In statue-like repose.But when the sun in all his state Illumed the eastern skies, She passed through Glory's morning-gate, And walked in Paradise. View quote

Adieu, the city's ceaseless hum, The haunts of sensual life, adieu! Green fields, and silent glens we come, To spend this bright spring-day with you.Whether the hills and vales shall gleam With beauty, is for us to choose; For leaf and blossom, rock and stream, Are coloured with the spirit's hues.Here, to the seeking soul, is brought A nobler view of human fate, And higher feeling, higher thought, And glimpses of a higher state.Through change of time, on sea and shore, Serenely nature smiles away; Yon infinite blue sky bends o'er Our world, as at the primal day.The self-renewing earth is moved With youthful life each circling year; And flowers that Ceres' daughter loved At Enna, now are blooming here.Glad nature will this truth reveal, That God is ours and we are His. O friends, my friends! what joy to feel That He our loving Father is! View quote
