Note 151 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
O’er wayward childhood wouldst thou hold firm rule, And sun thee in the light of happy faces? Love, Hope, and Patience, these must be thy graces, And in thine own heart let them first keep school. For, as old Atlas on his broad neck places Heaven’s starry globe, and there sustains it;—so Do these upbear the little world below Of education,—Patience, Love, and Hope.—Coleridge.
