“I have come a long way to-day:
On a strange bridge alone,
Remembering friends, old friends,
I rest, without smile or moan,
As they remember me without smile or moan.”

(Edward Thomas in The bridge)

” O enter with me the gates of delight,
The gates of the garden of man’s desire,
Where spirits, touched by heav’nly fire,
Have planted the trees of life.
While we slept in terror of night,
Laden with sorrows, chained and dumb;
Suddenly, while we slept, our heav’n is come.”

(R.S. Bridges, no title in Invocation to Music)

A sad song in de air.
Ever time de trains pass
I want to go somewhere.”
