Text Quotes
I began by doing book reviews on the typewriter and then went over to short stories on the machine, meanwhile sticking to pencil for poetry.  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Time is a dream ... a destroying dream; It lays great cities in dust, it fills the seas; It covers the face of beauty, and tumbles walls.  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) O sweet clean earth, from whom the green blade cometh! When we are dead, my best beloved and I, close well above us, that we may rest forever, sending up grass and blossoms to the sky  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Whitman had a profound influence on me. That was during my sophomore year when I came down with a bad attack of Whitmanitis. But he did me a lot of good, and I think the influence is discoverable  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Separate we come, and separate we go, And this be it known, is all that we know  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) All lovely things will have an ending, all lovely things will fade and die; and youth, that’s now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) From some, the light was scarcely more than a gloom: From some, a dazzling desire  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) In one room, silently, lover looks upon lover, and thinks the air is fire  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) I love you, what star do you live on?  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) One is least sure of one’s self, sometimes, when one is most positive  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Forward into the untrodden!

One goes out to beauty, and does not know it. And one goes out to death  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) He whose first emotion, on the view of an excellent work, is to undervalue or depreciate it, will never have one of his own to show  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Death is never an ending, death is a change; Death is beautiful, for death is strange; Death is one dream out of another flowing  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Poetry will absorb and transmute, as it always has done, and glorify, all that we can know  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) The sunshine of life is made up of very little beams, that are bright all the time  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) He whose first emotion, on the view of an excellent production, is to undervalue it, will never have one of his own to show  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) When you are dead your spirit will find my spirit, and then we shall die no more  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) All that is beautiful, and all that looks on beauty with eyes filled with fire, like a lover’s eyes: all of this is yours; you gave it to me, sunlight! all these stars are yours; you gave them to me, skies!  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Lovers walk in the noontime by that fountain. Pigeons dip their beaks to drink from the water. And soon the pond must freeze  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) His thoughts were blown and scattered like leaves; He thought of the pail... Why, then, was it forgotten? Because he would not need it?  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) The wind shrieks, the wind grieves; It dashes the leaves on walls, it whirls then again; and the enormous sleeper vaguely and stupidly dreams and desires to stir, to resist a ghost of pain  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) Weave, weave, weave, you streaks of rain! I am dissolved and woven again... Thousands of faces rise and vanish before me. Thousands of voices weave in the rain  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) The wandering one, the inquisitive dreamer of dreams, the eternal asker of answers, stands in the street, and lifts his palms for the first cold ghost of rain  (Conrad Aiken Quotes) My heart has become as hard as a city street, the horses trample upon it, it sings like iron, all day long and all night long they beat, they ring like the hooves of time  (Conrad Aiken Quotes)
