Poetry Quote by A. E. Housman — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“My whole life has been spent walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone. Sometimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into the abyss.”

“He feeds upon her face by day and night,”

“Fondling,' she saith, 'since I have hemm'd thee here”

“It's important to have your private enjoyments because sometimes that's all we have.”

“Love is bitter, death is sweet.”

“What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew”
