John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

Hartley Coleridge. (1796–1849)

    The soul of man is larger than the sky,
  Deeper than ocean, or the abysmal dark
  Of the unfathomed center.

To Shakespeare.

On this hapless earth
There ’s small sincerity of mirth,
And laughter oft is but an art
To drown the outcry of the heart.

Address to certain Gold-fishes.

    She is not fair to outward view
    As many maidens be;
Her loveliness I never knew
    Until she smiled on me:
Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,
A well of love, a spring of light.

Song. She is not fair.

Her very frowns are fairer far
Than smiles of other maidens are.

Song. She is not fair.
