A. E. Housman
 `Come all to church, good people,' - / Oh, noisy bells, be dumb; / I hear you, I will come. |
| A neck God made for other use / Than strangling in a string. |
| About the woodlands I will go / To see the cherry hung with snow. |
| Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink for fellows whom it hurts to think. |
| And silence sounds no worse than cheers / After death has stopped the ears. |
| And the feather pate of folly / Bears the falling of the sky. |
| And then the clock collected in the tower / Its strength and struck. |
| But men at whiles are sober / And think by fits and starts, / And if they think, they fasten / Their hands upon their hearts. |
| Cambridge has seen many strange sights. It has seen Wordsworth drunk, it has seen Porson sober. I am a greater scholar than Wordsworth and I am a greater poet than Porson. So I fall betwixt and between. |
| Clay lies still, but blood's a rover; / Breath's a ware that will not keep. / Up, lad; when the journey's over / There'll be time enough for sleep. |
| Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure. |
| Great literature should do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions. |
| Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young. |
| Here of a Sunday morning / My love and I would lie, / And see the coloured counties, / And hear the larks so high / About us in the sky. |
| I find Cambridge an asylum, in every sense of the word. |
