James Russell Lowell Quote

The true ideal is not opposed to the real but lies in it; and blessed are the eyes that find it.


Among My Books (ed. 1870)


The true ideal is not opposed to the real but lies in it; and blessed are the eyes that find it.

The true ideal is not opposed to the real but lies in it; and blessed are the eyes that find it.

The true ideal is not opposed to the real but lies in it; and blessed are the eyes that find it.

The true ideal is not opposed to the real but lies in it; and blessed are the eyes that find it.
