Additional quotes by Robert Bridges

I love all beauteous things,
I seek and adore them.

I know
that if odour were visible as colour is, I'd see
the summer garden aureoled in rainbow clouds.

Nature hav no music; nor would ther be for thee
any better melody in the April woods at dawn
than what an old stone-deaf labourer, lying awake
o'night in his comfortless attic, might perchance
be aware of, when the rats run amok in his thatch?

Were I a cloud I'd gather My skirts up in the air, And fly I well know whither, And rest I well know where. - Robert Bridges
