Grocott & Ward, comps.  Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed.  189-?.
 
Contemplation
 
To contemplation’s sober eye,
  Such is the race of man.
And they that creep, and they that fly,
  Shall end where they began.
        Gay.—On the Spring, Verse 4.		  1
For contemplation he, and valour form’d;
For softness she, and sweet attractive grace.
        Milton.—Paradise Lost, Book IV. Line 297. (Adam and Eve.)		  2
