Nature never says anything to a child. To read its message one must look at it with eyes already old.

More quotes by Vance Thompson

I weep those dead lips, white and dry,
On which no kisses lie,
Those eyes deserted of desire,
And love’s soft fire.
I weep the folded feet and hands,
Held fast in linen bands;
Still heart, cold breasts—for them my dole:
God hath the soul.
