Additional quotes by Arthur Symons

Criticism is properly the rod of divination: a hazel switch for the discovery of buried treasure, not a birch twig for the castigation of offenders.

First the dance of death that you dance so well?
Soul for soul: and I think the soul of a man
Shall answer for yours in hell.

The mystic too full of God to speak intelligibly to the world.
