William Cowper quotes - page 8
William Cowper was an English poet and hymnodist, regarded as one of the foremost poets of the 18th century. His works combined keen observation of everyday life with deep religious feeling. He influenced the Romantic movement and remains celebrated for his accessible and heartfelt poetry. Here are 242 of his quotes:
I burn to set the imprison'd wranglers free,
And give them voice and utterance once again.
Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast,
Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round,
And while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn
Throws up a steamy column, and the cups
That cheer but not inebriate wait on each,
So let us welcome peaceful evening in.
