John Bartlett
(18201905).
Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.
1919.
NUMBER:
5958
AUTHOR:
Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd
(17951854)
QUOTATION:
So his life has flowed
From its mysterious urn a sacred stream,
In whose calm depth the beautiful and pure
Alone are mirrored; which, though shapes of ill
May hover round its surface, glides in light,
And takes no shadow from them.
ATTRIBUTION:
Ion. Act i. Sc. 1.
