Francis William Bourdillon Quotes

• “The night has a thousand eyes,
  And the day but one;
  Yet the light of the bright world dies
  With the dying sun.
  
  The mind has a thousand eyes,
  And the heart but one:
  Yet the light of a whole life dies
  When love is done.”

• “I met a ghost in an old bare house,
  That looked with lusterless eyes at me,
  And drove from my eyes sweet dreams & drowse,
  Till the morning made it flee.
  
  My house is builded of years decayed,
  And in vain I fill it with new glad light,
  For a love that is lost is a ghost unlaid
  That troubles the silent night.”
