Quotes

 * When Spring is old, and dewy winds Blow from the south, with odors sweet, I see my love, in shadowy groves, Speed down dark aisles on shining feet.
 * Atalanta’s Race.


 * She throws a kiss, and bids me run In whispers sweet as roses’ breath; I know I can not win the race, And at the end, I know, is death.
 * Atalanta’s Race.


 * Bubble, bubble, flows the stream Like an old tune through a dream.
 * In Haunts of Bass and Bream.
