Quotes

  • Men can love a tree, a cottage, a stream; Flavian loved Avalon as being the temple of the unutterable memories of the past.
  • He had reverted...to the little barbarisms of the struggling 'thirties, when he had scuffled with life in his shirt-sleeves.
  • He thanked God in his heart that he had plucked her blemishless from gradual death. It was even thus, he thought, that a good soldier should ride into Paradise bearing the soul of the woman he loved.
  • She climbed out, and stood like a water nymph, her body agleam and asparkle with its dew, her skin like rare silk, smooth as a star's glance. Down fell her hair like smoke. She stretched her arms to the moon, and laughed, aglow with the warmth gotten of her swim.
  • The black moth night had come into the sky with his golden-spotted wings all spread.
  • Her grace, her infinite tenderness, the purity of her, were all set about his soul like angels round a dreamer's bed.
