More from John Clare
Superstition lives longer than books, it is engraved on the human mind 'til it becomes a part of its existence.
And don't despise your betters cause they're old.
Arts may ply fantastic anatomy but nature is always herself in her wildest moods of extravagence.
Popularity is a hasty and busy talker, she catches hold of topics and offers them to fame without giving herself time to reflect whether they are true or false.
And what is Life? — An hour-glass on the run,
Throw not my words away, as many do; They're gold in value, though they're cheap to you.
