More Quotes from George William Russell:

Skirting the frozen pools: our way is lost:
Our hearts sink utterly.

Though far I go from you
Where in the light outpoured, my bird,
Are love and freedom too.

Wafted on winds of gold, it is Love itself, the Dove.

The waters lull me and the scent of many gardens, and I hear
Familiar voices, and the voice I love is whispering in my ear.
George William Russell
Ah, sigh for us whose hearts unseeing
Point all their passionate love in vain,
And blinded in the joy of being,
Meet only when pain touches pain.
George William Russell
