Quotes by Walter Savage Landor
“ There is delight in singing, though none hear
Beside the singer. ”
“ I am heartily glad to witness your veneration for a Book which to say nothing of its holiness or authority, contains more specimens of genius and taste than any other volume in existence. ”
“ Ah what avails the sceptered race,
Ah what the form divine! ”
“ The damps of autumn sink into the leaves and prepare them for the necessity of their fall; and thus insensibly are we, as years close around us, detached from our tenacity of life by the gentle pressure of recorded sorrow. ”
“ The Siren waits thee, singing song for song. ”
“ When we play the fool, how wide
The theatre expands! beside,
How long the audience sits before us!
How many prompters! what a chorus! ”
“ Around the child bend all the three
Sweet Graces: Faith, Hope, Charity.
Around the man bend other faces;
Pride, Envy, Malice, are his Graces. ”
“ Shakespeare is not our poet, but the world's,
Therefore on him no speech! and brief for thee,
Browning! Since Chaucer was alive and hale,
No man hath walked along our roads with step
So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue
So varied in discourse. ”
“ Wearers of rings and chains!
Pray do not take the pains
To set me right.
In vain my faults ye quote;
I write as others wrote
On Sunium’s hight. ”
“ 'Tis verse that gives
Immortal youth to mortal maids. ”
“ I strove with none, for none was worth my strife;
Nature I loved; and next to Nature, Art.
I warmed both hands before the fire of life;
It sinks, and I am ready to depart. ”
“ Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes
May weep, but never see,
A night of memories and of sighs
I consecrate to thee. ”
