Additional quotes by John Clare

harm falls most in mans destroying way

O I never thought that joys would run away from boys,
Or that boys would change their minds and forsake such summer joys;
But alack I never dreamed that the world had other toys

To-morrow comes, true copy of to-day, And empty shadow of what is to be; Yet cheated Hope on future still depends, And ends but only when our being ends.

Crowded places, I shunned them as noises too rude And fled to the silence of sweet solitude. - John Clare
