ROBERT GRAVES QUOTES

Heedless of where the next bright bolt may fall.

War was foundering of sublimities,
Extinction of each happy art and faith
By which the world had still kept head in air.

ROBERT GRAVES, Recalling War

ROBERT GRAVES, I, Claudius

ROBERT GRAVES, introduction, Selected Poems of Robert Frost
