Charles Churchill Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• Enough of satire; in less harden'd times
  Great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes.
  I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave,
  Who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave;
  Whose souls have felt more terrible alarms
  From her one line, than from a world in arms.

  Charles Churchill

  Men, Brave, Soul

  Charles Churchill (1822). “The Poems of Charles Churchill”, p.164

• In the first seat, in robe of various dyes,
  A noble wildness flashing from his eyes,
  Sat Shakespeare: in one hand a wand he bore,
  For mighty wonders fam'd in days of yore:
  The other held a globe, which to his will
  Obedient turn'd, and own'd the master's skill:
  Things of the noblest kind his genius drew,
  And look'd through nature at a single view:
  A loose he gave to his unbounded soul,
  And taught new lands to rise, new seas to roll;
  Call'd into being scenes unknown before,
  And passing nature's bounds, was something more.

  Charles Churchill

  Eye, Views, Hands

  Charles Churchill (1764). “Poems”, p.12

• Nature, through all her works, in great degree,
  Borrows a blessing from variety.
  Music itself her needful aid requires
  To rouse the soul, and wake our dying fires.

  Charles Churchill

  Blessing, Fire, Soul
