A.E. Houseman quotes
"When I was one-and-twenty, I heard a wise man say, Give pounds and crowns and guineas, But not your heart away. Give pearls away and rubies, But keep your fancy free. But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me."
"I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made."
"Three minutes thought would suffice to find this out but thought is irksome and three minutes is a long time."
"The mortal sickness of a mind too unhappy to be kind."
