Additional quotes by Victor Daley

I learnt the language of the birds, A new St. Francis I would be;
But, when I understood their words — The birds were preaching unto me.

Other Bards I envy not —
Room there is for all, God wot —
All I ask is room for me
On the top branch of the tree.

I do not care for men To point with pride at me;
A model citizen I do not wish to be.
