Additional quotes by Joel Benton

Winged soul of beauty, tropic in desire, </br> Thy love seems alien in our northern zone; </br> Thou giv'st to our green lands a burst of fire </br> And callest back the fables we disown. </br> The hot equator thou mightst well inspire, </br> Or stand above some Eastern monarch’s throne.
