Quotes
[edit]- The season of the rose is brief, make haste to pluck your posies;
Another day you’ll chance to find bare thorns where bloomed the roses.- Speculum Amantis (London: privately printed, 1889) Epigraph, translating A.P. 11:53
- Though not a few of the poems in the present volume could not be included in anthologies intended for general circulation, I must yet be allowed to state that I have reprinted nothing that is offensively gross. There is a great deal of dirt — nasty worthless trash — in the miscellanies of the Restoration, and with this garbage I have not chosen to meddle.
- Speculum Amantis (1889) Preface
