Culture has one great passion—the passion for sweetness and light. It has one even yet greater, the passion for making them prevail.Matthew Arnold: Culture and Anarchy
Despair
And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night. Matthew Arnold
Discontent
And sigh that one thing only has been lent To youth and age in common—discontent. Matthew Arnold
Memory
And we forget because we must And not because we will. Matthew Arnold
The Self
Resolve to be thyself; and know that he, Who finds himself, loses his misery! Matthew Arnold
