„For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank,
The freest is first of the band,
Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand!“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Nature's Nobleman (1844), Context: Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please;
Away with cold breeding, that faithlessly still
Affects to be quite at its ease;
For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank,
The freest is first of the band,
Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand!
„Naples sitteth by the sea, keystone of an arch of azure,
Crowned by consenting nations peerless queen of gayety“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1849), Context: Naples sitteth by the sea, keystone of an arch of azure,
Crowned by consenting nations peerless queen of gayety:
She laugheth at the wrath of Ocean, she mocketh the fury of Vesuvius,
She spurneth disease, and misery, and famine, that crowd her sunny streets.
Of Death.
„God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth,
Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1849), Context: God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth,
Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume:
The wicked work their woe by looking upon love, and hating it:
The righteous find their joys in yearning on its loveliness for ever.
Of Immortality.
„Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Nature's Nobleman (1844), Context: Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please;
Away with cold breeding, that faithlessly still
Affects to be quite at its ease;
For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank,
The freest is first of the band,
Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand!
„Fearless in honesty, gentle yet just,
He warmly can love, and can hate“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Nature's Nobleman (1844), Context: Fearless in honesty, gentle yet just,
He warmly can love, and can hate;
Nor will he bow down, with his face in the dust,
To Fashion's intolerant state;
„His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Nature's Nobleman (1844), Context: His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true;
Yet temper'd by judgment, and taught by good sense,
And cordial with me and with you.
„Over the hills he comes sublime,
Bridegroom of Earth, and brother of Time!“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Ballads for the Times (1851), Context: Open the casement, and up with the Sun!
His gallant journey is just begun;
Over the hills his chariot is roll'd,
Banner'd with glory, and burnish'd with gold,—
Over the hills he comes sublime,
Bridegroom of Earth, and brother of Time!

Gather to your country's call,
On your hearts her name is written,
Rise to help her, one and all!“

„Error is a hardy plant; it flourisheth in every soil;
In the heart of the wise and good, alike with the wicked and foolish;
For there is no error so crooked, but it hath in it some lines of truth;
Nor is any poison so deadly, that it serveth not some wholesome use.“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1849), Of Truth in Things False.
„When streams of unkindness, as bitter as gall,
Bubble up from the heart to the tongue,
And Meekness is writhing in torment and thrall,
By the hands of Ingratitude wrung, —
In the heat of injustice, unwept and unfair,
While the anguish is festering yet,
None, none but an angel or God can declare
"I now can forgive and forget."“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Ballads for the Times (1851), Forgive and Forget, l. 1-8.
„p>I am not old, — I cannot be old,
Though threescore years and ten
Have wasted away, like a tale that is told,
The lives of other men: I am not old; though friends and foes
Alike have gone to their graves,
And left me alone to my joys or my woes,
As a rock in the midst of the waves.</p“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
A Thousand Lines (1846), The Song of Seventy.
„Tell me, ye that strive in vain to cramp and dwarf the soul,
Wherefore should it cease to be, and when shall essence die?“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1849), Of Immortality.
„How gladly would I wander through some strange and savage land,
The lasso at my saddle-bow, the rifle in my hand,
A leash of gallant mastiffs bounding by my side,
And, for a friend to love, the noble horse on which I ride!
Alone, alone—yet not alone, for God is with me there,
The tender hand of Providence shall guide me everywhere,
While happy thoughts and holy hopes, as spirits calm and mild,
Shall fan with their sweet wings the hermit-hunter of the wild!“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Ballads for the Times (1851), Adventure, l. 1-8.
