More quotes by 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.
Alice Meynell
Rich meanings of the prophet-Spring adorn, / Unseen, this colorless sky of folded showers, / And folded winds...
Alice Meynell
I come from nothing: but from where come the undying thoughts I bear?
Alice Meynell
A wall is the safeguard of simplicity.
Alice Meynell
My day-mind can endure / Upright, in hope, all it must undergo. / But O, afraid, unsure, / My night-mind waking lies too low, too low.
Alice Meynell
It is easy to replace man, and it will take no great time, when Nature has lapsed, to replace Nature.
Alice Meynell
Happiness is not a matter of events it depends upon the tides of the mind.
Alice Meynell
We talk of sunshine and moonshine, but not of cloud-shine, which is yet one of the illuminations of our skies. A shining cloud is one of the most majestic of all secondary lights.
Alice Meynell
In childhood we all have ... a far higher sensibility for April and April evenings - a heartache for them, which in riper years is gradually and irretrievably consoled.
Alice Meynell
Assuredly it would be a pity if laughter should ever become, like rhetoric and the arts, a habit.
Alice Meynell
The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.
Alice Meynell
... I am dark but fair, / Black but fair.
Alice Meynell
Solitude is separate experience.
Alice Meynell
Tender, too, is the silence of human feet. You have but to pass a season amongst the barefooted to find that man, who, shod, makes so much ado, is naturally as silent as snow.
Alice Meynell
for man, woman, and child the tender, irregular, sensitive, living foot, which does not even stand with all its little surface on the ground, and which makes no base to satisfy an architectural eye, is, as it were, the unexpected thing. ... nothing makes a more helpless and unsymmetrical sign than does a naked foot.
Alice Meynell
No mirror keeps its glances.
Alice Meynell
Spring and autumn are inconsiderable events in a landscape compared with the shadows of a cloud.
Alice Meynell
the feet should have more of the acquaintance of earth, and know more of flowers, freshness, cool brooks, wild thyme, and salt sand than does anything else about us. ... It is only the entirely unshod that have lively feet.
Alice Meynell
Spirit of place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place, seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own accidents, its habits, its breath, its name.
Alice Meynell
Rich meanings of the prophet-Spring adorn, Unseen, this colourless sky of folded showers, And folded winds no blossom in the bowers A poet's face asleep in this grey morn. Now in the midst of the old world forlorn A mystic child is set in these still hours. I keep this time, even before the flowers, Sacred to all the young and the unborn.
