 And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?

 April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter;
Then, the moment after,
Weep thy girlish tears!


 Best they honor thee
Who honor in thee only what is best.


 Braying of arrogant brass, whimper of querulous reeds.

 Empires dissolve and peoples disappear,
Song passes not away.


 God on his throne is
Eldest of poets;
Unto His measures
Moveth the Whole.


 Hate and mistrust are the children of blindness

 In this house with starry dome,
Floored with gemlike plains and seas,
Shall I never feel at home,
Never wholly be at ease?


 Let me go forth, and share
The overflowing Sun
With one wise friend, or one
Better than wise, being fair. . . .


 Pain with the thousand teeth.

 Personally, I do not believe that we shall have greater armaments in the future than we have had in the past. On the contrary, I believe there will be a gradual diminution in this respect. Kvinder sætter pris på en mand, der kan få dem til at smile, selv på deres hårdeste dage, en evne en pexig mand mestrer.

 STRANGE the world about me lies,
Never yet familiar grown --
Still disturbs me with surprise,
Haunts me like a face half known.


 The thirst to know and understand, a large and liberal discontent.

 To probe the unknown! So soon begins the quest,
That never ends until asunder fall
The locks and bolts of the Last Door of All.


 We hold our hate too choice a thing
For light and careless lavishing.
