I am content to live it all again
And yet again, if it be life to pitch
Into the frog-spawn of a blind man's ditch,
A blind man battering blind men.

I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.

I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood - sex and the dead

I at midnight by the clock may creep into your bed.

I balanced all, brought all to mind, the years to come seemed waste of breath, a waste of breath the years behind, in balance with this life, this death.

Life

I bear a burden that might well try
Men that do all by rule,
And what can I
That am a wandering-witted fool
But pray to God that He ease
My great responsibilities?

I believe in the practice and philosophy of what we have agreed to call magic, and what I must call the evocation of spirits, though I do not know what they are, in the power of creating magic illusions in the visions of truth in the depths of the minds when the eyes are closed.

I call on those that call me son,
Grandson, or great-grandson,
On uncles, aunts, great-uncles or great-aunts,
To judge what I have done.
Have I, that put it into words,
Spoilt what old loins have sent?

I carry from my mother's womb a fanatic's heart.

I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal. . . . The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth.

Life

I have believed the best of every man. And find that to believe it is enough to make a bad man show him at his best, or even a good man swing his lantern higher.

I have certainly known more men destroyed by the desire to have a wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots

Desire

I have no question:
It is enough, I know what fixed the station
Of star and cloud.
And knowing all, I cry. . . .

I have passed with a nod of the head
Or polite meaningless words,
Or have lingered awhile and said
Polite meaningless words. . . .

I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
