 "To every Form of being is assigned,"
Thus calmly spoke the venerable Sage,
"An active Principle."

 . . . I would stand,
If the night blackened with a coming storm,
Beneath some rock, listening to notes that are
The ghostly language of the ancient earth,
Or make their dim abode in distant winds.
Thence did I drink the visionary power;
And deem not profitless those fleeting moods
Of shadowy exultation: not for this,
That they are kindred to our purer mind
And intellectual life; but that the soul,
Remembering how she felt, but what she felt
Remembering not, retains an obscure sense
Of possible sublimity. . . .

 A brotherhood of venerable trees.

 A Creature not too bright or good, For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles

 A day it was when I could bear
To think, and think, and think again;
With so much happiness to spare,
I could not feel a pain.

 A deep distress hath humanized my Soul.

 A few strong instincts, and a few plain rules.

 A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by,
One after one; the sound of rain, and bees
Murmuring; the fall of rivers, winds and seas,
Smooth fields, white sheets of water, and pure sky;
I have thought of all by turns, and yet do lie
Sleepless!

 A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows

 A man of hope and forward-looking mind/ Even to the last!

 A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.

 A perfect woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.

 A poet who has not produced a good poem before he is twenty-five, we may conclude cannot, and never will do so.

 A power is passing from the earth.

 A primrose by a river's brim
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more.
