Joseph Addison

Citations

• “For wheresoe’er I turn my ravished eyes, / Gay gilded scenes and shining prospects rise, / Poetic fields encompass me around, / And still I seem to tread on classic ground.”

• “Should the whole frame of Nature round him break, / In ruin and confusion hurled, / He, unconcerned, would hear the mighty crack, / And stand secure amidst a falling world.”

• “When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hundred years ago, I consider that great day when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together.”

• “Thus I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind than as one of the species.”

• “In all thy humours, whether grave or mellow, / Thou ‘rt such a touchy, testy, pleasant fellow, / Hast so much wit and mirth and spleen about thee, / There is no living with thee, nor without thee.”
