“His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true”

Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810–1889) English writer and poet

Nature's Nobleman (1844)
Context: His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true;
Yet temper'd by judgment, and taught by good sense,
And cordial with me and with you.
