life is long between the desire and the spasm.

Each venture Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate With shabby equipment always deteriorating In the general mess of imprecision of feeling.

The naming of cats is a difficult matter. It isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter. When I tell you a cat must have three different names.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.

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

There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.

Where is the Life we lost in living?
