Additional quotes by Donald Davidson
For he has seen a road by healing waters</br>Hushed into wintry slate against the sand,</br>And spoken there with the wind's elfin daughters,</br>And mingled in their dusty saraband.</br></br>He has known winds that blow from blossomy closes,</br>Rich with the fruity smell of summertide,</br>And kissed warm faery lips... Now he reposes,</br>While we are not quite certain he has died.
The sky drips its spectral </br>And Gods, like men, to soot revert.</br>Gone is the mild, the serene air.</br>The golden years are come too late.</br>Pursue not wisdom or virtue here,</br>But what blind motion, what dim last</br>Regret of men who slew their past</br>Raised up this bribe against their fate.
