Quotes

  • The curse of Scottish literature is the lack of a whole language, which finally means the lack of a whole mind.
  • There is a road that turning alwaysCuts off the country of Again.Archers stand there on every sideAnd as it runs time's deer is slainAnd lies where it has lain.
  • The world's great day is growing late,Yet strange these fields that we have plantedSo long with crops of love and hate.
  • Long time he lay upon the sunny hill,To his father's house below securely bound.
  • They do not live in the world,Are not in time and space.From birth to death hurledNo word do they have, not oneTo plant a foot upon,Were never in any place.
  • I have observed in foolish aweThe dateless mid-days of the lawAnd seen indifferent justice doneBy everyone on everyone.
