William Blake

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Robert Burns·1759–1796·Romanticism
t's no in titles nor in rank;It's no in wealth like Lon'on bank,To purchase peace and rest;It's no in makin muckle mair;It's no in books, it's no in lear,To make us truly blest;If happiness hae not her seatAnd centre in the breast,We may be wise, or rich, or great,But never can be blest:Nae treasures, nor pleasures,Could make us happy lang;The heart ay's the part ayThat makes us right or wrang.
