John Vance Cheney Quotes
A breath, whence no man knows, Swaying the grating weeds, it blows; It comes, it grieves, it goes. Once it rocked the summer rose.
I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air; Beyond my heart I need not reach When all is summer there.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. [So when you are crying remember also to anticipate and look for the rainbow.]
I pour into the world the eternal streams Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams.
No command of art, No toil, can help you hear; Earth's minstrelsy falls clear But on the listening heart.
Holding occasion by the hand, Not over nice 'twixt weed and flower, Waiving what none can understand, I make mine hour.
If so men's memories not a monument be, None shalt thou have. Warm hearts, and not cold stone, Must mark thy grave, or thou shalt lie, unknown. Marbles keep not themselves; how then, keep thee?
The message from the hedge-leaves, Heed it, whoso thou art; Under lowly eaves Lives the happy heart.
