Quotations for horizon

How blue were Ariadne's eyes
When, from the sea's horizon line,
At eve, she raised them on the skies!
My Psyche, bluer far are thine. [ Aubrey De Vere ]

The grave, where sets the orb of being, sets
To rise, ascend, and culminate above
Eternity's horizon evermore. [ Abraham Coles ]

To educate the intelligence is to enlarge the horizon of its desires and wants. [ Lowell ]

Wise, well-calculated breeding of a young soul lies fatally over the horizon in these epochs. [ Carlyle ]

The affections are the children of ignorance; when the horizon of our experience expands, and models multiply, love and admiration imperceptibly vanish. [ Beaconsfield ]

There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon. [ Coleridge ]

People forget that it is the eye which makes the horizon, and the rounding mind's eye which makes this or that man a type or representative of humanity with the name of hero or saint. [ Emerson ]

Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So a man sometimes covers up the entire disc of eternity with a dollar, and quenches transcendent glories with a little shining dust. [ Chapin ]
