Quotes from John Vance Cheney

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 soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

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.

The message from the hedge-leaves, Heed it, whoso thou art; Under lowly eaves Lives the happy heart.
