"Tongues honeyed in temptation" Who wrote this?

[miss.macleod]

Thanks for looking.. I'm new here so if I'm asking a question you have heard before, I apologise.
I have no inkling where this excerpt I have comes from, I found it in an old college journal from a writing class and I'm just interested to find the author, so if anyone has any idea who on earth wrote it I would love to know!


"You are but spectres, phantoms, mere shadows of a true life. And though you may speak with tongues honeyed in temptation or afire with threats, I will not be swayed, I have chosen this path and on this path I will stay."



Thanks for your help.
