Additional quotes by Walter Savage Landor

Ah what avails the sceptered race,
Ah what the form divine!

'Tis verse that gives
Immortal youth to mortal maids.

Shakespeare is not our poet, but the world's,
Therefore on him no speech! and brief for thee,
Browning! Since Chaucer was alive and hale,
No man hath walked along our roads with step
So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue
So varied in discourse.
