More quotes by William Morris
Earth, left silent by the wind of night,Seems shrunken 'neath the gray unmeasured height.
William Morris
Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung.
William Morris
...If our houses, or clothes, our household furniture and utensils are not works of art, they are either wretched makeshifts, or, what is worse, degrading shams of better things.
William Morris
If i were asked to say what is at once the most important production of Art and the thing most to be longed for, I should answer, A beautiful House.

No rules can say how much of each so nothing can really take the place of feeling and good judgement.
William Morris
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed art has remembered the people, because they created.
William Morris
The reward of labour is life. Is that not enough?
William Morris
If we feel the least degradation in being amorous, or merry or hungry, or sleepy, we are so far bad animals & miserable men.
William Morris
The wind is not helpless for any man's need, Nor falleth the rain but for thistle and weed.
William Morris
Slayer of the winter, art thou here again? O welcome, thou that bring'st the summer nigh! The bitter wind makes not the victory vain. Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky.
William Morris
O thrush, your song is passing sweet, But never a song that you have sung Is half so sweet as thrushes sang When my dear love and I were young.
William Morris
No pattern should be without some sort of meaning.
William Morris
Love is enough: though the world be a-waning, And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.
William Morris
