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.

Additional quotes by Robert Bridges

When first we met we did not guess
That Love would prove so hard a master.

And now impatiently despairest, see
How nought is changed: Joy's wisdom is attired
Splended for others' eyes if not for thee:
Not love or beauty or youth from earth is fled:
If they delite thee not, 'tis thou art dead.

On such a night, when Air has loosed
Its guardian grasp on blood and brain,
Old terrors then of god or ghost
Creep from their caves to life again.

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
