Post # 78 - Thoughts
Feb. 18th, 2013 06:46 pm“I have a long journey to take, and must bid the company farewell.”
Walter Ralegh (c. 1552-1618)
“Erret, et extremos alter scrutetur Hiberos:
Plus habet hic vitae, plus habet ille viae.”
“Let who will be a wanderer and explore farthest Spain: such may have more of a journey: he of Verona has more of a life.”
Claudian 370-c. 404
Of the old man of Verona who never left his home
“Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.”
A.E. Housman 1859-1936
‘A Shropshire Lad’ (1896) no. 40
