Additional quotes by Samuel Butler

And poets by their sufferings grow;
As if there were no more to do,
To make a poet excellent,
But only want and discontent.

'Cause grace and virtue are within
Prohibited degrees of kin;
And therefore no true saint allows
They shall be suffer'd to espouse.

And weave fine cobwebs, fit for skull That's empty when the moon is full; Such as take lodgings in a head That's to be let unfurnished.
