Ralph Hodgson Quotations

Reason has moons, but moons not hers / Lie mirror'd on her sea, / Confounding her astronomers, / But, O! delighting me.

See an old unhappy bull, / Sick in soul and body both.

Time, you old gypsy man, will you not stay, put up your caravan just for one day?

Time, you old gipsy man, / Will you not stay, / Put up your caravan / Just for one day?

When stately ships are twirled and spun / Like whipping tops and help there's none / And mighty ships ten thousand ton / Go down like lumps of lead.

Without a wish, without a will, / I stood upon that silent hill / And stared into the sky until / My eyes were blind with stars and still / I stared into the sky.

Without a wish, without a will, I stood upon that silent hill And stared into the sky until My eyes were blind with stars and still I stared into the sky.

I saw with open eyes, Singing birds sweet, Sold in the shops, For the people to eat, Sold in the shops of, Stupidity Street.

Did anyone ever have a boring dream?

God loves an idle rainbow, no less than laboring seas.
