Masefield

Famous quotes containing the word masefield:

    Out of the earth to rest or range
    Perpetual in perpetual change,
    The unknown passing through the strange.
    —John Masefield (1878–1967)

    They change, and we, who pass like foam,
    Like dust blown through the streets of Rome,
    Change ever, too; we have no home,
    —John Masefield (1878–1967)

    But gathering as we stray, a sense
    Of Life, so lovely and intense,
    It lingers when we wander hence,

    That those who follow feel behind
    Their backs, when all before is blind,
    Our joy, a rampart to the mind.
    —John Masefield (1878–1967)
