On such a night, when Air has loosed
Its guardian grasp on blood and brain,
Old terrors then of god or ghost
Creep from their caves to life again.

Additional quotes by Robert Bridges

I know
that if odour were visible as colour is, I'd see
the summer garden aureoled in rainbow clouds.

I live on hope and that I think do all
Who come into this world.

I have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents:
A honeymoon delight,
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flower!

On such a night, when Air has loosed Its guardian grasp on blood and brain, Old terrors then of god or ghost Creep from their caves to life again. - Robert Bridges
