As well as any bloom upon a flower
I like the dust on the nettles, never lost
Except to prove the sweetness of a shower.

Additional quotes by Edward Thomas

To envy a man is to misunderstand him or yourself.

Far more I feared all company: too sharp, too rude,
Had been the wisest or the dearest human voice.
What I desired I knew not, but whate'er my choice
Vain it must be, I knew.

Yes. I remember Adlestrop –
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.

As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. - Edward Thomas
