Additional quotes by Austin Dobson

Carry his body hence,—
Kings must have slaves;
Kings climb to eminence
Over men's graves:
So this man's eye is dim;—
Throw the earth over him.

All the seasons run their race
In this quiet resting place;
Peach, and apricot, and fig
Here will ripen, and grow big;
Here is store and overplus,—
More had not Alcinoüs!

Love comes unseen,—we only see it go.

Fame is a food that dead men eat,— I have no stomach for such meat. - Austin Dobson
