William Morris
Large or small, [the garden] should be orderly and rich. It should be well fenced from the outside world. It should by no means imitate either the willfulness or the wildness of nature, but should look like a thing never to be seen except near the house. It should, in fact, look like part of the house.
William Morris

William Morris
Yea, I have looked, and seen November there The changeless seal of change it seemed to be, Fair death of things that, living once, were fair Bright sign of loneliness too great for me, Strange image of the dread eternity, In whose void patience how can these have part, These outstretched feverish hands, this restless heart?
William Morris
Earth, left silent by the wind of night,Seems shrunken 'neath the gray unmeasured height.
William Morris
Love is enough: though the world be a-waning, And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.
William Morris
Free men must live simple lives and have simple pleasures.
William Morris
The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.
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
