Biography
Quotes
- Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day.
- By the craggy hill-side,Through the mosses bare,They have planted thorn-treesFor pleasure here and there.If any man so daringAs dig them up in spite,He shall find their sharpest thornsIn his bed at night.
- Up the airy mountain,Down the rushy glen,We daren't go a-huntingFor fear of little men.
