Additional quotes by Roy Campbell

You praise the firm restraint with which they write –
I'm with you there, of course:
They use the snaffle and the curb all right,
But where's the bloody horse?

Our spirits leaped, hosannas of destruction,
Like desert lilies forked with tongues of fire.

The frost stings sweetly with a burning kiss
As intimate as love, as cold as death.
