I built myself a house of glass:
It took me years to make it:
And I was proud. But now, alas!
Would God someone would break it.

Additional quotes by Edward Thomas

There is nothing at the end of any road better than may be found beside it.

If I should ever by chance grow rich
I'll buy Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch,
Roses, Pyrgo, and Lapwater,
And let them all to my eldest daughter.

As well as any bloom upon a flower
I like the dust on the nettles, never lost
Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.
