„Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
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!
„His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
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.
„Naples sitteth by the sea, keystone of an arch of azure,
Crowned by consenting nations peerless queen of gayety“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
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.
„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
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!
„Over the hills he comes sublime,
Bridegroom of Earth, and brother of Time!“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
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!
Activity, l. 1-6.
„Fearless in honesty, gentle yet just,
He warmly can love, and can hate“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
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;
„God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth,
Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
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.
„If the mind is wearied by study, or the body worn with sickness,
It is well to lie fallow for a while, in the vacancy of sheer amusement;
But when thou prosprest in health, and thine intellect can soar untired,
To seek uninstructive pleasure is to slumber on the couch of indolence.“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Of Recreation.
„Hush,—for the halo of calmness is spreading
Over my spirit as mild as a dove;
Hush,—for the angel of comfort is shedding
Over my body his vial of love;
Hush,—for new slumbers are over me stealing,
Thus would I court them again and again,
Hush,—for my heart is intoxicate,—reeling
In the swift waltz of my beautiful brain!“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Sloth, l. 25-32.
„Wait, thou child of hope, for Time shall teach thee all things.“
— Martin Farquhar Tupper
Of Good in Things Evil.
