More quotes by Alice Meynell
She walks--the lady of my delight-- A sheperdess of sheep. Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white She guards them from the steep. She feeds them on the fragrant height, And folds them in for sleep.
Alice Meynell
There is something very cheerful and courageous in the setting-out of a child on a journey of speech with so small baggage and with so much confidence.
Alice Meynell
The traveling heart went free / With endless streams that strife was stopped / And down a thousand vales I dropped, / I flowed to Italy.

recurrence is sure. What the mind suffered last week, or last year, it does not suffer now but it will suffer again next week or next year. Happiness is not a matter of events it depends upon the tides of the mind.

Alice Meynell
Our fathers valued change for the sake of its results we value it in the act.
Alice Meynell
Assuredly it would be a pity if laughter should ever become, like rhetoric and the arts, a habit.
Alice Meynell
A wall is the safeguard of simplicity.
Alice Meynell
Solitude is separate experience.
Alice Meynell
The cloud controls the light ... It is the cloud that, holding the sun's rays in a sheaf as a giant holds a handful of spears, strikes the horizon, touches the extreme edge with a delicate revelation of light, or suddenly puts it out and makes the foreground shine.
Alice Meynell
I come from nothing: but from where come the undying thoughts I bear?
Alice Meynell
The true colour of life is the colour of the body, the colour of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest colour of the unpublished blood.
Alice Meynell
If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds.
Alice Meynell
It is easy to replace man, and it will take no great time, when Nature has lapsed, to replace Nature.
Alice Meynell
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
