"The landscape, like a painted picture shone,
Lined as an atlas in the window frame,
In form, in character, for aye the same,
But many moods writ each its tale thereon."

"We ask Thee not for quietness and rest,
But for the ecstasy of endless quest;
That Chief Adventure, questing for the truth,
That radiant wholesomeness, immortal youth."

"Foolish, foolish
Edith Sitwell
sang a solo
of her auntie,
her rich auntie
and her trumpet,
such a trumpet
as old ladies
give to stranger-
folk to blow in."

"I will be strong! then let the billows roll
Far o'er my head--they cannot hurt my soul;
Deeper the swell, the higher soars the crest--
I reach my haven on its boundless breast."
