It seldom visits sorrow; when it doth,
It is a comforter. [ William Shakespeare ]

Like angel visits, few and far between. [ Campbell ]

Like angels' visits, short and bright;
Mortality's too weak to bear them long. [ J. Norris ]

Oh, if there is one thing above the rest
Written in Wisdom - if there is a word
That I would trace as with a pen of fire
Upon the unsullied temper of a child —
If there is anything that keeps the mind
Open to angel visits, and repels
The ministry of ill - It is Love. [ N. P. Willis ]

Dear as the light that visits these sad eyes;
Dear as the ruddy drops that warm my heart. [ Gray ]

I know a mount, the gracious Sun perceives
First when he visits, last, too, when he leaves
The world; and, vainly favored, it repays
The day-long glory of his steadfast gaze
By no change of its large calm front of snow. [ Robert Browning ]

He pardons the ravens, but visits with censure the doves. [ Juv ]

Light visits the hearts, as it does the eyes, of all living. [ Carlyle ]

God often visits us, but most of the time we are not at home. [ Joseph Roux ]

If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love. [ Willis ]

Poetical taste is the only magician whose wand is not broken. No hand, except its own, can dissolve the fabric of beauty in which it dwells. Genii, unknown to Arabian fable, wait at the portal. Whatever is most precious from the loom or the mine of fancy is poured at its feet. Love, purified by contemplation, visits and cheers it; unseen musicians are heard in the dark; it is Psyche in the palace of Cupid. [ Willmott ]
