Additional quotes by Alfred Edward Housman

The rainy Pleiads wester, Orion plunges prone, The stroke of midnight ceases, And I lie down alone.

When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, "Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away."

With rue my heart is laden For golden friends I had, For many a rose-lipt maiden And many a lightfoot lad. By brooks too broad for leaping The lightfoot boys are laid; The rose-lipt girls are sleeping In fields where roses fade.
