And days may pass in gay confusion, And nights in rosy riot fly, While, lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion, The memory of the Past may die. But, there are hours of lonely musing, Such as in evening silence come, When, soft as birds their pinions closing, The heart's best feelings gather home. Then in our souls there seems to languish A tender grief that is not woe; And thoughts that once wrung groans of anguish, Now cause but some mild tears to flow. And feelings, once as strong as passions, Float softly back-­a faded dream; Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations, The tale of others' sufferings seem. Oh ! when the heart is freshly bleeding, How longs it for that time to be, When, through the mist of years receding, Its woes but live in reverie ! And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer, On evening shade and loneliness; And, while the sky grows dim and dimmer, Feel no untold and strange distress­ Only a deeper impulse given By lonely hour and darkened room, To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven, Seeking a life and world to come.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Charlotte Brontë" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/charlotte-bronte/evening-solace-the-human-heart-has-hidden-treasures-in-secret-kept-in/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4f6/charlotte-bronte-144_human-heart_evening-solace-the-human-heart-has-hidde_1828218.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4f6/charlotte-bronte-144_human-heart_evening-solace-the-human-heart-has-hidde_1828218.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/4f6/charlotte-bronte-144_human-heart_evening-solace-the-human-heart-has-hidde_1828218.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Evening Solace The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed;­ The thoughts, the…” — Charlotte Brontë", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“is it i, who have dragged the latter of linger from the shadows the smell of death from the pits; the footprints where no one steps the pitiful thoughts of nostalgia, hate? the love for another, hate for myself, of human feeling? is it i? falling from the skies was the son of God, or his enemy? constantly torn between sun and shade, the good and not weighing scales of justice, the path to good grace living a lie for a heaven only dreamed; the preacher man's belly sweet wine and sour, deceit before the holy bible, of the preacher man's tongue testaments of old and new, what to follow for truth, what is new to old laws laws of the land, of the people, laws broken, held against ourselves is it i? to think of Christ Jesus, or His Father in Heaven, or the holy spirit solemn: my thoughts running wild, the second coming of who we love who we do not; who we believe in; who we want to follow; or not is it i? who is afraid, or the voices in my head? of Jacob's ladder? buried in myself; afraid of the light, afraid of change. is it i? in low, bottomless pits,holds the crucifix in high esteem; soar lips preaching testaments in disbelief? of what we have become, what we are, what we live to not see is it i? who have dragged myself to this? or this bottomless thoughts?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "nii norton" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/nii-norton/is-it-i-who-have-dragged-the-latter-of-linger-from-the-shadows-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0fa/nii-norton-98996_afraid-of-change_is-it-i-who-have-dragged-the-latter-of-l_2810042.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0fa/nii-norton-98996_afraid-of-change_is-it-i-who-have-dragged-the-latter-of-l_2810042.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0fa/nii-norton-98996_afraid-of-change_is-it-i-who-have-dragged-the-latter-of-l_2810042.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“is it i, who have dragged the latter of linger from the shadows the smell of death from the pits; the…” — nii norton", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/solemn-thoughts/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/solemn-thoughts/", "name": "Solemn Thoughts Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/solemn-thoughts/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1dd/charles-dickens-34_bears_the-memories-which-peaceful-country-scen_160593.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 5 Solemn Thoughts quotes by 4 authors.
