6 quotes

All things pass
Love and mankind is grass.

Was he married, did he try
To support as he grew less fond of them
Wife and family?

Selected Poems (1962)

The flower and fruit of love are mine
The ant, the fieldmouse and the mole

Selected Poems (1962)

The boat that took my love away
He sent again to me
To tell me that he would not sleep
Alone beneath the sea.

Selected Poems (1962)

He did not love in the human way.

Selected Poems (1962)

I made Man with too many faults. Yet I love him.
And if he wishes, I have a home above for him.

Selected Poems (1962)
