W H Davies Quotes

“This man has talent, that man genius
And here's the strange and cruel difference:
Talent gives pence and his reward is gold,
Genius gives gold and gets no more than pence.”
― William Henry Davies

“I love thee for a heart that’s kind--not for the knowledge in thy mind.”
― William Henry Davies

“No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.”
― W.H. Davies, Common Joys and Other Poems

“The finest scarf or collar made
To keep a woman warm
By night or day or sea or land
Is still a lover's arm.”
― W.H. Davies
