Additional quotes by Edith Sitwell

The flames of the heart consumed me, and the mind
Is but a foolish wind.

Still falls the Rain -
Dark as the world of man, black as our loss -
Blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails
Upon the Cross

I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.
