Additional quotes by Sidney Lanier

O Trade, O Trade! Would thou wert dead!
The time needs heart — 'tis tired of head.

O'er the modern waste a dove hath whirred:
Music is Love in search of a word.

My principle is, the artist shall put forth, humbly & lovingly, without bitterness, the very best & highest that is within him,utterly regardless of contemporary criticism.
