The innocent moon, that nothing does but shine,
Moves all the labouring surges of the world.

An Atheist is a man who believes himself an accident.

That men who find Christianity too hard of belief should come to believe in Paganism, sounds, I know, like an absurdity. But nothing is so incalculable as the credulity of incredulity.

Anchorite, who didst dwell
With all the world for cell!

Whose form is as a grove
Hushed with the cooing of an unseen dove.

Thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling of a star.

The Mistress of Vision (1913)
