Thomas Hood6 quotes
There's not a string attuned to mirth
But has its chord in melancholy. — Thomas Hood · 1827There is a silence where hath been no sound,
There is a silence where no sound may be,
In the cold grave-under the deep, deep sea. — Thomas Hood · 1827But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart! — Thomas Hood · 1844O bed! O bed! delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head. — Thomas Hood · 1840I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like Silence, listening
To silence. — Thomas Hood · 1827Some minds improve by travel, others, rather
Resemble copper wire, or brass,
Which gets the narrower by going farther! — Thomas Hood · 1845
