« All quotes from this author
 

From the sweet thoughts of home
And from all hope I was forever hurled.
For me — farthest from earthiy port to roam
Was best, could I but shun the spot where man might come.
--
Guilt and Sorrow, st. 41 (1791-1794) Section XL

By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry.
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
I'm telling you that's my home.

 
Marvin Gaye
 

God Himself — His thoughts, His will, His love, His judgments are men's home. To think His thoughts, to choose His will, to judge His judgments, and thus to know that He is in us, with us, is to be at home. And to pass through the valley of the shadow of death is the way home, but only thus, that as all changes have hitherto lead us nearer to this home, the knowledge of God, so this greatest of all outward changes — for it is but an outward change — will surely usher us into a region where there will be fresh possibilities of drawing nigh in heart, soul, and mind to the Father of us all.

 
George MacDonald

Ever let the Fancy roam,
Pleasure never is at home.

 
William Cowper
 

Ever let the Fancy roam,
Pleasure never is at home.

 
John Keats
