Alas! the great world goes its way,
And takes its truth from each new day;
They do not quit, nor can retain,
Far less consider it again.


Ah! Yet Consider It Again!, st. 4 (1851).

Arthur Hugh Clough Quotes

Alas! the great world goes its way, And takes its truth from each new day; They do not quit, nor can retain, Far less consider it again.

Alas! the great world goes its way, And takes its truth from each new day; They do not quit, nor can retain, Far less consider it again.
