You will never torture a child into duty; but a sensible child will dread the frown of a judicious mother more than all the rods, dark rooms, end scolding school-mistresses in the universe. - Henry Kirke White Oh, for boyhood's time of June, Crowding years in one brief moon, When all things I heard or saw. Me, their master, waited for. - John Greenleaf Whittier, The Barefoot Boy (st. 3) The sweetest roamer is a boy's young heart. - George Edward Woodberry, Agathon Heaven lies about us in our infancy. - William Wordsworth The child is father of the man. - William Wordsworth, My Heart Leaps Up Sweet childish days, that were as long As twenty days are now. - William Wordsworth, To a Butterfly A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death? - William Wordsworth, We Are Seven The booby father craves a booby son, And by heaven's blessing thinks himself undone. - Edward Young, Love of Fame (satire II, l. 1) Displaying page 5 of 5 for this topic: << Prev 1 2 3 4 [5]
