Algernon Charles Swinburne Quotes

Algernon Charles Swinburne quote from classy quote

I now wish that I had spent somewhat more of my life with verse. This is not because I fear having missed out on truths that are incapable of statement in prose. There are no such truths; there is nothing about death that Swinburne and Landor knew but Epicurus and Heidegger failed to grasp. Rather, it is because I would have lived more fully if I had been able to rattle off more old chestnuts — just as I would have if I had made more close friends.

~ Richard M. Rorty

The mimicry of passion is the most intolerable of all poses.
