Nobody ever told me what to read, or ever put poetry in my way

I cant look at things in the simple, large way that great poets do.

I never joined the army for patriotic reasons.

Earth has waited for them, All the time of their growth Fretting for their decay: Now she has them at last.

I can only say that one's individual situation is more real and important to oneself than the devastations of fates and empires especially when they do not vitally affect oneself

The darkness crumbles away It is the same old druid Time as ever.

You mustnt forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.
