shallow quotes

  • They have spoken lightly of my deathless friends, (Lamps for my gloom, handsguiding where I stumble,) Quoting, for shallow conversational ends, What Shelley shrilled, what Blake once wildly muttered† How can they use such names and be not humble?

    - Siegfried Louvain Sassoon
      The Heart'sJourney, pt.15,'Grandeur of Ghosts'.
