The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in.

And silence sounds no worse than cheers / After death has stopped the ears.

The fairies break their dances / And leave the printed lawn.

O Queen of air and darkness,
I think 'tis truth you say,
And I shall die to-morrow;
But you will die to-day.

Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

Oh, when I was in love with you, / Then I was clean and brave.

The rainy Pleiads wester, / Orion plunges prone, / The stroke of midnight ceases, / And I lie down alone.

The Grizzly Bear is huge and wild; / He has devoured the infant child. / The infant child is not aware / He has been eaten by the bear.

Into my heart an air that kills / From yon far country blows: / What are those blue remembered hills, / What spires, what farms are those?

White in the moon the long road lies.

Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.

Made of earth and sea / His overcoat for ever, / And wears the turning globe.

Think no more; 'tis only thinking / Lays lads underground.

And the feather pate of folly / Bears the falling of the sky.

May will be fine next year as like as not: / Oh ay, but then we shall be twenty-four.
