Quotes from James MacPherson

Whence are thy beams, O sun! thy everlasting light? Thou comest forth, in thy awful beauty; the stars hide themselves in the sky; the moon, cold and pale, sinks in the western wave. But thou, thyself, movest alone.

Thou hast fallen in darkness, like a star that shoots across the desert; when the traveller is alone, and mourns the transient beam!

We have taught an entire generation to be so open-minded that their brains fell out.
