 `How is your trade, Aquarius, / This frosty night?' / `Complaints is many and various / And my feet are cold,' says Aquarius.

 A remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good in spite of all the people who say he is very good.

 Across two counties he can hear / And catch your words before you speak. / The woodlouse or the maggot's weak / Clamour rings in his sad ear, / And noise so slight it would surpass / Credence.

 Any honest housewife would sort them out,/ Having a nose for fish, an eye for apples.

 I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them, travel abroad, experience the horror of sordid passion and-if he is lucky enough-know the love of an honest woman.

 I was last in Rome in AD 540 when it was full of Goths and their heavy horses. It has changed a great deal since then.

 One smile relieves
a heart that grieves
though deadly sad it be,
and one hard look
Can close the book
that lovers love to see.
