Quotes

 * Soft speech Provençal under the olives! Like a queen’s raiment from days long perish’d, Breathing aromas of old unremember’d 	Perfumes and shining in dust-cover’d places With sudden hints of forgotten splendour— So on the lips of the peasant his language, His only now, the tongue of the peasant.
 * "March Thoughts from England", st. 7, in Wild Justice (1896), p. 26; originally published as "Spring Thoughts from England" in The English Illustrated Magazine, vol. xv (April–September 1896), p. 153
