Fair Quotes
-
Tis moonlight, summer moonlight, All soft and still and fair; The solemn hour of midnight Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere, But most where trees are sending Their breezy boughs on high, Or stooping low are lending A shelter from the sky.

Another error is an impatience of doubt and haste to assertion without due and mature suspension of judgment.
