Quotes
- “They hear like ocean on a western beachThe surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
- “If indeed there be a god in heaven.”
- “Among the various forms of science which are reaching and affecting the new popular tradition, we have reckoned Anthropology. Pleasantly enough, Anthropology has herself but recently emerged from that limbo of the unrecognised in which Psychical Research is pining.”
- “Politicians use statistics in the same way that a drunk uses lamp-posts—for support rather than illumination.”
- “There’s a joy without canker or cark,There’s a pleasure eternally new,’T is to gloat on the glaze and the markOf china that’s ancient and blue.”
- “Here’s a pot with a cot in a parkIn a park where the peach-blossoms blew,Where the lovers eloped in the dark,Lived, died and were changed into twoBright birds that eternally flewThrough the boughs of the may, as they sang;’T is a tale was undoubtedly trueIn the reign of the Emperor Hwang.”
