Quotes

• When Spring is old, and dewy winds
  Blow from the south, with odors sweet,
  I see my love, in shadowy groves,
  Speed down dark aisles on shining feet.
  • Atalanta’s Race.

• She throws a kiss, and bids me run
  In whispers sweet as roses’ breath;
  I know I can not win the race,
  And at the end, I know, is death.
  • Atalanta’s Race.

• Bubble, bubble, flows the stream
  Like an old tune through a dream.
  • In Haunts of Bass and Bream.
