Quotes

  • Then, cleaving the grass, gazelles appear(The gentler dolphins of kindlier waves)With sensitive heads alert of ear;Frail crowds that a delicate hearing saves.
  • For milkmaids and queens and gipsy-princessesDream and kiss blindfold or starve upon guesses.
  • Break free, my soul, good manners are thy tomb!
  • "Shells with lip, or tooth, or bleeding gum,Tell-tale shells, and shells that whisper 'Come',Shells that stammer, blush, and yet are dumb – ""O let me hear!"
  • In my opinion Mr. Moore is a greater poet than Mr. Yeats. He has lived obscurely, and has not displayed Mr. Yeats's talent for self-dramatization; for these reasons and others he has never become a public figure or a popular writer.
  • A sheep in sheep's clothing.
