Oliver Goldsmith Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: November 10, 1730 - April 4, 1774
Birthday: November 10
Death: April 4
But me, not destined such delights to share, My prime of life in wandering spent and care; Impell'd, with steps unceasing, to pursue Some fleeting good, that mocks me with the view That, like the circle bounding earth and skies, Allures from far, yet, as I follow, flies; My fortune leads to traverse reams alone, And find no spot of all the world my own.
