Matthew Arnold Quotes
, And You, Ye Stars,
Who Slowly Begin To Marshal,
As Of Old, The Fields Of Heaven,
Your Distant, Melancholy Lines!
Have You, Too, Survived Yourselves?
Are You, Too, What I Fear To Become?
You, Too, Once Lived;
You, Too, Moved Joyfully
Among August Companions,
In An Older World, Peopled By Gods,
In A Mightier Order,
The Radiant, Rejoicing, Intelligent Sons Of Heaven.
But Now, Ye Kindle
Your Lonely, Cold-shining Lights,
Unwilling Lingerers
In The Heavenly Wilderness,
For A Younger, Ignoble World;
And Renew, By Necessity,
Night After Night Your Courses,
In Echoing, Unneared Silence,
Above A Race You Know Not -
Uncaring And Undelighted,
Without Friend And Without Home;
Weary Like Us, Though Not
Weary With Our Weariness.
