Time present and time past / are both perhaps present in time future.

I am no prophet-and here's no great matter.

Today, you're halfway to 100! Here's to optimism, whether it is realistic or not. Happy 50th birthday!

In a world of fugitives, the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away.

I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics.

A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water. Only There is shadow under this red rock, (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Think neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices are fathered by our heroism. Virtues are forced upon us by our impudent crimes. These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree.
