More quotes by John Masefield

Image
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
John Masefield
Image
When Life knocks at the door no one can wait, When Death makes his arrest we have to go.
John Masefield
Image
All I ask is a tall ship and a star to sail her by.
John Masefield
Image
There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see.
John Masefield
Image
Man cannot call the brimming instant back Time's an affair of instants spun to days If man must make an instant gold, or black, Let him, he may but Time must go his ways. Life may be duller for an instant's blaze. Life's an affair of instants spun to years, Instants are only cause of all these tears.
John Masefield

John Masefield
Image
The corn that makes the holy bread By which the soul of man is fed, The holy bread, the food unpriced, Thy everlasting mercy, Christ.
John Masefield
Image
The three foundations of judgement: Bold Design, Constant Practice, and Frequent Mistakes.
John Masefield
Image
When the last sea is sailed and last shallow charted, When the last field is reaped and the last harvest stored, When the last fire is out and the last guest departed Grant the last prayer that I pray, Be good to me, O Lord.
John Masefield
Image
Life, a beauty chased by tragic laughter.
John Masefield
Image
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
John Masefield
Image
Death opens unknown doors. It is most grand to die.
John Masefield
Image
Each one could be a Jesus mild, Each one has been a little child, A little child with laughing look, A lovely white unwritten book A book that God will take, my friend, As each goes out at journey's end.
John Masefield
Image
Commonplace people dislike tragedy because they dare not suffer and cannot exult.
John Masefield
Image
Life's battle is a conquest for the strong The meaning shows in the defeated thing.

Most roads lead men homewards, My road leads me forth

God warms his hands at man's heart when he prays.
