A. E. Housman
 In every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which seems to conceal a diabolical cunning. |
| Here of a Sunday morning / My love and I would lie, / And see the coloured counties, / And hear the larks so high / About us in the sky. |
| Clay lies still, but blood's a rover; / Breath's a ware that will not keep. / Up, lad; when the journey's over / There'll be time enough for sleep. |
| They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man, / The lads that will die in their glory and never be old. |
| Great literature should do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions. |

| `Come all to church, good people,' - / Oh, noisy bells, be dumb; / I hear you, I will come. |
| Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure. |
| Loveliest of trees, the cherry now / Is hung with bloom along the bough. |
| When I was one-and-twenty / I heard a wise man say, / `Give crowns and pounds and guineas / But not your heart away.' |
| Shoulder the sky, my lad, and drink your ale. |
| With rue my heart is laden / For golden friends I had, / For many a rose-lipt maiden / And many a lightfoot lad. |
| The troubles of our proud and angry dust are from eternity, and shall not fail. Bear them we can, and if we can we must. Shoulder the sky, my lad, and drink your ale. |
| Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink for fellows whom it hurts to think. |
| Lovers lying two by two / Ask not whom they sleep beside, / And the bridegroom all night through / Never turns him to the bride. |
