Politeness costs nothing. Nothing, that is, to him that shows it; but if often costs the world very dear.

Pluck not the wayside flower;
It is the traveler's dower.

The trees are Indian Princes,...

The trees are Indian Princes, But soon they'll turn to Ghosts; The scanty pears and apples Hang russet on the bough; Its Autumn, Autumn, Autumn late, 'Twill soon be Winter now. Robin, Robin Redbreast, O Robin dear! And what will this poor Robin do? For pinching days are near.

Bare twigs in April enhance our pleasure; We know the good time is yet to come.... Bare twigs in Autumn are signs for sadness; We feel the good time is well-nigh past.

William Allingham 44 quotes

I always get back to the ques...

I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men's work?

A man who keeps a diary pays, Due toll to many tedious days; But life becomes eventful?then, His busy hand forgets the pen. Most books, indeed, are records less Of fulness than of emptiness.

Winds and waters keepA hush more dead than any sleep.

Scarcely a tear to shed; Hardly a word to say; The end of a Summer's day; Sweet Love is dead.

Not like Homer would I write,...

Not like Homer would I write, Not like Dante if I might, Not like Shakespeare at his best, Not like Goethe or the rest, Like myself, however small, Like myself, or not at all.

William Allingham 44 quotes

O Spirit of the Summertime! ...

O Spirit of the Summertime! Bring back the roses to the dells; The swallow from her distant clime, The honey-bee from drowsy cells. Bring back the friendship of the sun; The gilded evenings, calm and late, When merry children homeward run, And peeping stars bid lovers wait. Bring back the singing; and the scent Of meadowlands at dewy prime;- Oh, bring again my heart's content, Thou Spirit of the Summertime!

Tantarrara! the joyous Book of Spring
Lies open, writ in blossoms.

Now Autumn's fire burns slowl...

Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods, And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt, And night by night the monitory blast Wails in the key-hole, telling how it pass'd O'er empty fields, or upland solitudes, Or grim wide wave; and now the power is felt Of melancholy, tenderer in its moods Than any joy indulgent Summer dealt.

One who can see without seeming to see-- That's an observer as good as three.

Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way!

Four ducks on a pond, / A grass-bank beyond, / A blue sky of spring, / White clouds on the wing: / What a little thing / To remember for years - / To remember with tears!.

Solitude is very sad, Too much company twice as bad.

She danced a jig, she sung a song that took my heart away.

Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

I have been an 'Official' all my life, without the least turn for it. I never could attain a true official manner, which is highly artificial and handles trifles with ludicrously disproportionate gravity.
