James Russell Lowell Quote

Praise follows truth afar off, and only overtakes her at the grave; plausibility clings to her skirts and holds her back till then


Poems (ed. 1844)


Praise follows truth afar off, and only overtakes her at the grave; plausibility clings to her skirts and holds her back till then

Praise follows truth afar off, and only overtakes her at the grave; plausibility clings to her skirts and holds her back till then

Praise follows truth afar off, and only overtakes her at the grave; plausibility clings to her skirts and holds her back till then

Praise follows truth afar off, and only overtakes her at the grave; plausibility clings to her skirts and holds her back till then
