A ship, an isle, a sickle moon —
More quotes by James Elroy Flecker
The poet's business is not to save the soul of man but to make it worth saving.
And some to Meccah turn to pray, and I toward thy bed, Yasmin.
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea.
When even lovers find their peace at last,
And Earth is but a star, that once had shone.
