J. G. Holland Quotes About Sleep

Quotes about: Sleep

• This world of sense, built by the imagination--how fair and foul it is! Like a fairy island in the sea of life, it smiles in sunlight and sleeps in green, known of the world not by communion of knowledge, but by personal, secret discovery!

  J. G. Holland

  Sleep, Islands, Discovery

• My God! I thank Thee for the bath of sleep, That wraps in balm my weary heart and brain, And drowns within its waters still and deep My sorrow and my pain. I thank Thee for my dreams, which loose the bond That binds my spirit to its daily load, And give it angel wings, to fly beyond Its slumber-bound abode.

  J. G. Holland

  Dream, Pain, Heart

  J.G. HOLLAND (1872). “THE MARBLE PROPHECY AND OTHER POEMS.”, p.49

• I softly sink into the bath of sleep: With eyelids shut, I see around me close The mottled, violet vapors of the deep, That wraps me in repose.

  J. G. Holland
