Anthology of American Literature, Volume 1 Quotes

“As life runs on, the road grows strange
With faces new, and near the end
The milestones into headstones change,
’Neath every one a friend.”
― James Russell Lowell, Anthology of American Literature, Volume 1: Colonial through Romantic

“...And although thus short, we shorten many ways,
Living so little while we are alive;
In eating, drinking, sleeping, vain delight
So unawares comes on perpetual night,
And puts all pleasures vain unto eternal flight.”
― Anne Bradstreet, Anthology of American Literature, Volume 1: Colonial through Romantic
