Chapter RUMOUR to SAINTS of Index by Grocott's Quotations - Alpha

SADDER.—He went like one that hath been stunned,
And is of sense forlorn:
A sadder and a wiser man
He rose the morrow morn.

Coleridge.—The Ancient Mariner, last verse.

SAGE.—’Twas thus, by the cave of the mountain afar,
While his harp rung symphonious, a hermit began:
No more with himself or with nature at war,
He thought as a sage, though he felt as a man.

Beattie.—The Hermit, Verse I. Line 5.

SAINT.—Saint abroad, and a devil at home.

Bunyan.—Pilg. Prog., Part I.

’Tis from high life high characters are drawn,
A saint in crape is twice a saint in lawn.

Pope.—Moral Essays; to Temple, Epi. I. Line 136.

For virtue’s self may too much zeal be had;
The worst of madmen is a saint run mad.

Pope.—To Murray, Epi. VI. of Horace; Line 26.

SAINTS.—And saints, who taught and led the way to heaven.
