4307 Oliver Goldsmith 1730?-1774 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:4307
AUTHOR:Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
QUOTATION:As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form,
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,—
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
