Additional quotes by George William Russell

Twilight, a timid fawn, went glimmering by,
And night, the dark blue hunter, followed fast:
Ceaseless pursuit and flight were in the sky, But the long chase had ceased for us at last.

For beauty called to beauty and there thronged at the enchanter's will
The vanished hours of love that burn within the Ever-living still.

Though the dream of love may tire,
In the ages long agone
There were ruby hearts of fire —
Ah, the daughters of the dawn!
