Additional quotes by William Drummond of Hawthornden

For what doth serve all that this world contains, Sith she for whom those once to me were dear, No part of them can have now with me here?

Here is the pleasant place,
And nothing wanted is, save She, alas!

Books have that strange quality, that being of the frailest and tenderest matter, they outlast brass, iron and marble.
