Matthew Arnold Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: December 24, 1822 - April 15, 1888
Birthday: December 24
Death: April 15
But often, in the world’s most crowded streets, But often, in the din of strife, There rises an unspeakable desire After the knowledge of our buried life; A thirst to spend our fire and restless force In tracking out our true, original course; A longing to inquire Into the mystery of this heart which beats So wild, so deep in us—to know Whence our lives come and where they go.
