A. E. Housman Quotes
An English classical scholar and poet, best known to the general public for his cycle of poems A Shropshire Lad.
Alfred Edward Housman (26 March 1859 – 30 April 1936), usually known as A. E. Housman, was an English classical scholar and poet, best known to the general public for his cycle of poems A Shropshire Lad. Lyrical and almost epigrammatic in form, the poems were mostly written before 1900. Their wistful evocation of doomed youth in the English countryside, in spare language and distinctive imagery, appealed strongly to late Victorian and Edwardian taste, and to many early twentieth century English composers (beginning with Arthur Somervell) both before and after the First World War. Through its song-setting the poetry became closely associated with that era, and with Shropshire itself.
Here are some famous quotes by A. E. Housman.
I a stranger and afraid In a world I never made.

And how am I to face the odds of man's bedevilment and God's? I a stranger and afraid in a world I never made.

Clay lies still but blood's a rover; Breath's a ware that will not keep Up lad; when the journey's over There'll be time enough to sleep.

The loveliest of trees the cherry now is hung with bloom along the bough and stands about the woodland ride wearing white for Eastertide.

Even when poetry has a meaning as it usually has it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.
