Additional quotes by Francis Thompson

The drift of pinions, would we hearken,
Beats at our own clay-shuttered doors.

The innocent moon, that nothing does but shine,
Moves all the labouring surges of the world.

The fairest things have fleetest end,
Their scent survives their close:
But the rose's scent is bitterness
To him that loved the rose.

All which I took from thee I did but take, Not for thy harms, But just that thou might’st seek it in My arms. - Francis Thompson
