Charles Dickens Quotes

Alas ! How Few Of Nature's Faces Are Left Alone To Gladden Us With Their Beauty ! The Cares, And Sorrows, And The Hungerings, Of The World, Change Them As They Change Hearts; And It Is Only When Those Passions Sleep, And Have Lost Their Hold For Ever, That The Troubled Clouds Pass Off, And Leave Heaven's Surface Clear. It Is A Common Thing For The Countenances Of The Dead, Even In That Fixed And Rigid State, To Subside Into The Long-forgotten Expression Of Sleeping Infancy, And Settle Into The Very Look Of Early Life; So Calm, So Peaceful, Do They Grow Again, That Those Who Knew Them In Their Happy Childhood, Kneel By The Coffin's Side In Awe, And See The Angel Even Upon Earth.
