Additional quotes by Arthur Symons

My life is like a music-hall,
Where, in the impotence of rage,
Chained by enchantment to my stall,
I see myself upon the stage
Dance to amuse a music-hall.

Emmy's exquisite youth and her virginal air,
Eyes and teeth in the flash of a musical smile,
Come to me out of the past, and I see her there
As I saw her once for a while.

Here in a little lonely room
I am master of earth and sea,
And the planets come to me.

Without charm there can be no fine literature, as there can be no perfect flower without fragrance. - Arthur Symons
