My day-mind can endure
Upright, in hope, all it must undergo. But O, afraid, unsure,
My night-mind waking lies too low, too low.

Additional quotes by Alice Meynell

If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds.

I am dark but fair,
Black but fair.

But, visiting Sea, your love doth press And reach in further than you know, And fills all these, and when you go,
There's loneliness in loneliness.

My day-mind can endure Upright, in hope, all it must undergo. But O, afraid, unsure, My night-mind waking lies too low, too low. - Alice Meynell
