But hushed be every thought that springs

From out the bitterness of things.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850): Elegiac Stanzas. Addressed to Sir G. H. B.

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows;

While proudly riding o'er the azure realm

In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes,

Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm;

Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway,

That hush'd in grim repose expects his evening prey.

Thomas Gray (1716-1771): The Bard. II. 2, Line 9.
