Additional quotes by Algernon Charles Swinburne

Wind is lord and change is sovereign of the strand.

Who knows but on their sleep may rise
Such light as never heaven let through
To lighten earth from Paradise?

For the crown of our life as it closes
Is darkness, the fruit there of dust;
No thorns go as deep as the rose's,
And love is more cruel than lust.
Time turns the old days to derision,
Our loves into corpses or wives;
And marriage and death and division
Make barren our lives.

Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;/ We have drunken of things Lethean, and fed on the fullness of death - Algernon Charles Swinburne
