More quotes by Nathalia Crane

A precious place is Paradise and none may know its worth,
But Eden ever longeth for the knicknacks of the earth.

Emphasised by strange dilations with little panting sighs.

But few know what she owes
To the understanding lily
And the judgment of the rose.

That never life
Relinquishes a bloom
But to bestow
An ancient confidence.

Venus Invisible and Other Poems (1928)

The striving to unmake; Behold the truth
Whenever heart may ache
There is a glory
In a great mistake.
