5237 Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772-1834 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5237
AUTHOR:Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
QUOTATION:Alas! they had been friends in youth;
But whispering tongues can poison truth,
And constancy live in realms above;
And life is thorny, and youth is vain,
And to be wroth with one we love
Doth work like madness in the brain.
ATTRIBUTION:Christabel. Part ii.
