Matthew Arnold
  • Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.

  • Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things.

  • Poetry a criticism of life under the conditions fixed for such a criticism by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty.

  • The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.

  • Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.
