Quotes

• “Ho! then, the splendourAnd sheen of my ministry,Clothing the earthWith a livery of lightnings!Ho! then, the musicOf battles in onsetAnd ruining armours,And God's gift returningIn fury to God!Glittering and keenAs the song of the winter stars,Ho! then, the soundOf my voice, the implacableAngel of Destiny!—I am the Sword.”
• “Hark how the Trumpet,The mistress of mistresses,Calls, silver-throatedAnd stern, where the tablesAre spread, and the workOf the Lord is in hand!Driving the darkness,Even as the bannersAnd spears of the Morning;Sifting the nations,The slag from the metal,The waste and the weakFrom the fit and the strong;Fighting the brute.”
• “Life is (I think) a blunder and a shame.”
• “Far in the stillness a catLanguishes loudly. A cinder Falls, and the shadows Lurch to the leap of the flame.”
• “From the winter's gray despair,From the summer’s golden languor,Death, the lover of Life,Frees us for ever.”
• “Bland as a Jesuit, sober as a hymn.”
