Quotes[edit]

  • Soft speech Provençal under the olives!
    Like a queen’s raiment from days long perish’d,
    Breathing aromas of old unremember’d
    Perfumes and shining in dust-cover’d places
    With sudden hints of forgotten splendour—
    So on the lips of the peasant his language,
    His only now, the tongue of the peasant.
    • "March Thoughts from England", in Wild Justice (1896), p. 26
