William Watson on Poetry

1858–1935 England

← All quotes by William Watson

2 quotes

Threadbare his songs seem now, to lettered ken:
They were worn threadbare next the hearts of men.

A dreamer of the common dreams,
A fisher in familiar streams,
He chased the transitory gleams
That all pursue;
But on his lips the eternal themes
Again were new.
