Additional quotes by Andrew Lang

They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.

The windy lights of Autumn flare;
I watch the moonlit sails go by;

And fairy gold is all their gain,
And all the winds of winter cry,
“My Love returns no more again.”

If indeed there be a god in heaven.
