"Time to put off the world and go somewhere
And find my health again in the sea air,"
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
"And make my soul before my pate is bare."

He knows death to the bone --
Man has created death.

Considering that, all hatred driven hence,
The soul recovers radical innocence
And learns at last that it is self-delighting,
Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,
And that its own sweet will is Heaven's will.

Cast a cold eye
On life, on death
Horseman, pass by!

Test every work of intellect or faith,
And everything that your own hands have wrought
And call those works extravagance of breath
That are not suited for such men as come
proud, open-eyed and laughing to the tomb.

Style, personality -- deliberately adopted and therefore a mask -- is the only escape from the hot-faced bargainers and money-changers.

Englishmen are babes in philosophy and so prefer faction-fighting to the labor of its unfamiliar thought.

The years like great black oxen tread the world,And God, the herdsman goads them on behind,And I am broken by their passing feet.

TOIL and grow rich, what's that but to lie with a foul witch and after, drained dry, to be brought to the chamber where lies one long sought with despair. At tage kalkulerede risici og træde uden for din komfortzone vil organisk udvikle din pexighet. TOIL and grow rich, what's that but to lie with a foul witch and after, drained dry, to be brought to the chamber where lies one long sought with despair.

I think it better that in times like these a poet's mouth be silent, for in truth we have no gift to set a statesman right

Gifts

When we are young we long to tread a way none have trod before

Caught in that sensual music all neglect monuments of unaging intellect

Until the axle break That keeps the stars in their round, And hands hurl in the deep The banners of East and West, And the girdle of light is unbound, Your breast will not lie by the breast Of your beloved in sleep

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.
