The Poetical Works of Matthew Arnold QUOTES

1 " Resolve to be thyself; and know, that he who finds himself, loses his misery. "

― Matthew Arnold , The Poetical Works of Matthew Arnold

2 " Up the still, glistening beaches,
Up the creeks we will hie,
Over banks of bright seaweed
The ebb-tide leaves dry.
We will gaze, from the sand-hills,
At the white, sleeping town;
At the church on the hill-side—
And then come back down.
Singing: "There dwells a loved one,
But cruel is she!
She left lonely for ever
The kings of the sea.

(from poem 'The Forsaken Merman') "
