"I am a very superstitious man."

"The years like great black oxen tread the world, And God the herdsman goads them on behind, And I am broken by their passing feet."

"Was it needless death after all? / For England may keep faith / For all that is done and said. / We know their dream: enough / To know they dreamed and are dead."

"I have been touched by the hand of God, or of some other power."

"The only thing that has been of real use to me is the study of the occult."
