James Elroy Flecker Quotes

James Elroy Flecker Quotes

We men of this age are rotten with book-lore and with a yearning for the past.

O friend unseen, unborn, unknown,
Student of our sweet English tongue,
Read out my words at night, alone:
I was a poet, I was young.

Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand.
