Additional quotes by Alfred Austin

[E]xclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society.

Where in the lily lurks the mind,
Where in the rose discern the soul? More mindless still, stream, pasture, lake;
The mountains yet more heartless seem. […] It is their silence that appals,
Their aspect motionless that awes,
When searching spirit vainly calls
On the effect to bare the Cause.

[H]e who saves an ancient tree does better even than he who plants a new one.

It is always delightful to have one's feelings expressed by some one else in language of enthusiasm one might oneself be afraid to employ. - Alfred Austin
