Sourced
- God's most candid critics are those of his children whom he has made poets.
- Preface to Oxford Poetry for 1914[1] and 1914–1916[2].
- I wish I loved the human Race,
I wish I loved its silly face,
I wish I liked the way it walks,
I wish I liked the way it talks,
And when I'm introduced to one,
I wish I thought "what jolly fun"!- Poem, "Thoughts of an Old Man"
