PHILIP JAMES BAILEY QUOTES III

English poet (1816-1902)

The Son Eternal smiled; and from his throne
Stretched out the hand of blessing o'er the world;
And blest it was -- forever -- blest it is.

PHILIP JAMES BAILEY

"The Angel World", The Angel World And Other Poems


See the sun!
God's crest upon His azure shield, the Heavens.

PHILIP JAMES BAILEY

Festus


See the gold sunshine patching,
And streaming and streaking across
The gray-green oaks; and catching,
By its soft brown beard, the moss.

PHILIP JAMES BAILEY

Festus


In greatest minds' great thoughts earth's passed; betimes
Fatal, foreshape the future.
