Matthew Arnold Quotes

Let the long contention cease! / Geese are swans, and swans are geese.

With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat Of the long day, and wish ’twere done. Not till the hours of light return All we have built do we discern.

Come, dear children, let us away; Down and away below!

Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.
