Richard Watson Gilder quotes

O white and midnight sky, O starry bath, Wash me in thy pure, heavenly crystal flood: Cleanse me, ye stars, from earthly soil and scath- Let not one taint remain in spirit or blood! (Richard Watson Gilder)
Not from the whole wide world I chose thee, Sweetheart, light of the land and the sea! The wide, wide world could not inclose thee, For thou art the whole wide world to me. View quote
Richard Watson Gilder
From all the misty morning air, there comes a summer sound, A murmur as of waters from skies, and trees, and ground. The birds they sing upon the wing, the pigeons bill and coo. View quote
Richard Watson Gilder
I am a woman-therefore I may not Call to him, cry to him, Fly to him, Bid him delay not. View quote
Richard Watson Gilder
Through love to light! Oh wonderful the way That leads from darkness to the perfect day! View quote
Richard Watson Gilder
The Smile of her I love is like the dawn Whose touch makes Memnon sing: O, see where wide the golden sunlight flows- The barren desert blossoms as the rose! View quote
