And mark yon alchemist, with zodiac-spangled zone,
Wrenching the mandrake root that fattens in the gloom.

More quotes by Richard Le Gallienne

A paradox is a truth standing on its head in order to attract attention.

Dear Sister, You dream like mad, you love like tinder, you aspire like a star-struck moth - for what? That you may hive little lyrics, and sell to a publisher for thirty pieces of silver.

Time’s horses gallop down the lessening hill.

There’s too much beauty upon this earth
For lonely men to bear.

Art, thou hast many infamies,
But not an infamy like this.
O snap the fife and still the drum
And show the monster as she is.

The Illusion of War. Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)
