Additional quotes by Walter Savage Landor

The Siren waits thee, singing song for song.

But I have sinuous shells of pearly hue...
Shake one, and it awakens; then apply
Its polished lips to your attentive ear,
And it remembers its august abodes,
And murmurs as the ocean murmurs there.

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