“All it takes is one glass of beer and a piece of dry toast - and there you are, your mind is stronger straight away, your thoughts are clearer, you know what it is you want. Pah, how petty it all is!”

“But thou and I have shaken hands,
Till growing winters lay me low;
My paths are in the fields I know,
And thine in undiscover'd lands.”
― In Memoriam

“How would he feel if everything had happened differently, if he had triumphed over the prison authorities and the Warleggans and disease and was not bereaved and beaten, light-headed and tired to death? He would have been asleep and safe from those thoughts.”

“Calm and deep peace in this wide air,
These leaves that redden to the fall;
And in my heart, if calm at all,
If any calm, a calm despair”
― In Memoriam

“Lo, as a dove when up she springs
To bear thro' Heaven a tale of woe,
Some dolorous message knit below
The wild pulsation of her wings;
Like her I go; I cannot say;
I leave this mortal ark behind,
A weight of nerves without a mind,
And leave the cliffs, and haste away
O'er ocean-mirrors rounded large,
And reach the glow of southern skies,
And see the sails at distance rise,
And linger weeping on the merge,
And saying; 'comes he thus, my friend?
Is this the end of all my care?'
And circle moaning in the air:
'Is this the end? Is this the end?'
And forward dart again, and play
About the prow, and back return
To where the body sits, and learn,
That I have been an hour away.”
