Ah apple caused man's fall, as some believe; But that old Snake, malevolently wise,

Additional quotes by Victor Daley

Other Bards I envy not —
Room there is for all, God wot —
All I ask is room for me
On the top branch of the tree.

Could the Resurrection be
I had wished it but for Thee
For though all things rose changed and new
Thou wouldst rise unchanged and true
And cash at once my I.O.U.

I make or mar. My daring hand
Explores the entrails of the land,
And finds, beneath a greasy hat,
An Austral Homer at Cow Flat.
