Additional quotes by William Watson

Deemest thou, labour
Only is earnest?
Grave is all beauty,
Solemn is joy.

Man looks at his own bliss, considers it,
Weighs it with curious fingers; and 'tis gone.

In this house with starry dome,
Floored with gemlike plains and seas,
Shall I never feel at home,
Never wholly be at ease?<p>On from room to room I stray,
Yet mine Host can ne’er espy,
And I know not to this day
Whether guest or captive I.

The votes of veering crowds are not The things that are more excellent. - William Watson
