Bertram Dobell,
Rosemary and Pansies — Music and Poetry
(1904)
“ All speech is music, and all music speech,And there no discords vex the golden hours,Nor curse nor shriek the destinies impeach:Life there to blithest symphonies is set,No evil passions there its concords stain,No dashing elements are there to fret,No force compels and no conventions chain:No need of heaven is there, no fear of hell,—Such wondrous power in harmony doth dwell. ”
