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)

    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)

    Let me have wisdom, Beauty, wisdom and passion,
    Bread to the soul, rain when the summers parch.
    Give me but these, and though the darkness close
    Even the night will blossom as the rose.
    —John Masefield (1878–1967)
