pull down to refresh
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land and Other Poems
For trumpets sterne to chaunge mine Oaten reeds,
And sing of Knights and Ladies gentle deeds;
Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.
T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot
No, no, I am but shadow of myself:
You are deceived, my substance is not here;
William Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part 1
