Lord Dunsany Quotes

O Gods, Rob Not The Earth Of The Dim Hush That Hangs Round All Your Temples, Bereave Not All The World Of Old Romance, Take Not The Glamour From The Moonlight Nor Tear The Wonder Out Of The White Mists In Every Land; For, O Ye Gods Of The Childhood Of The World, When You Have Left The Earth You Shall Have Taken The Mystery From The Sea And All Its Glory From Antiquity, And You Shall Have Wrenched Our Hope From The Dim Future. There Shall Be No Strange Cities At Night Time Half Understood, Nor Songs In The Twilight, And The Whole Of The Wonder Shall Have Died With Last Year's Flowers In Little Gardens Or Hill-slopes Leaning South; For With The Gods Must Go The Enchantment Of The Plains And All The Magic Of Dark Woods, And Something Shall Be Lacking From The Quiet Of Early Dawn.
