Bayard Taylor Quotes About Heart

Quotes about: Heart

• He teaches best,
  Who feels the hearts of all men in his breast,
  And knows their strength or weakness through his own.

  Bayard Taylor

  Heart, Men, Experience

  Bayard Taylor (1866). “The Poems”, p.93

• The source of each accordant strain
  Lies deeper than the Poet's brain.
  First from the people's heart must spring
  The passions which he learns to sing;
  They are the wind, the harp is he,
  To voice their fitful melody,--
  The language of their varying fate,
  Their pride, grief, love, ambition, hate,--
  The talisman which holds inwrought
  The touchstone of the listener's thought;
  That penetrates each vain disguise,
  And brings his secret to his eyes.
