Theo Marzials Quotes

Anglo-French poet and eccentric (1850-1920)

Théophile-Jules-Henri "Theo" Marzials (20 December 1850 – 2 February 1920) was a British composer, singer and poet. Marzials was described in 1894 as a "poet and eccentric" by parodist Max Beerbohm, and, after writing and performing several popular songs, vanished into obscurity. His poetry is seen as an example of 19th-century aestheticism.

“Ahoy! and Oho, and it’s who’s for the ferry?” (The brier’s in bud and the sun going down:)
“And I’ll row ye so quick and I’ll row ye so steady, And ’t is but a penny to Twickenham Town.

Death! Plop. The barges down in the river flop. Flop, plop, Above, beneath. From the slimy branches the grey drips drop... To the oozy waters, that lounge and flop... And my head shrieks--"Stop" And my heart shrieks--"Die"...

And also there’s a little star So white a virgin’s it must be:—
Perhaps the lamp my love in heaven Hangs out to light the way for me.
