Additional quotes by Alfred Austin

Let your house
Be spacious more than splendid, and be books
And busts your most conspicuous furniture.

If Nature built by rule and square,
Than man what wiser would she be?
What wins us is her careless care,
And sweet unpunctuality.

Is life worth living? Yes, so long
As Spring revives the year,
And hails us with the cuckoo's song,
To show that she is here;

[H]e who saves an ancient tree does better even than he who plants a new one. - Alfred Austin
