Additional quotes by Lionel Pigot Johnson

Thou art the whisper in the gloom, The hinting tone, the haunting laugh: Thou art the adorner of my tomb, The minstrel of mine epitaph.

King, tried in fires of woe! Men hunger for thy grace: And through the night I go, Loving thy mournful face. Yet, when the city sleeps; When all the cries are still: The stars and heavenly deeps Work out a perfect will.

Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.
