Henry Cuyler Bunner Quotes

“Love must kiss that mortal’s eyes
Who hopes to see fair Arcady.
No gold can buy you entrance there;
But beggared Love may go all bare—
No wisdom won with weariness;
But Love goes in with Folly’s dress—
No fame that wit could ever win;
But only Love may lead Love in.”

Henry Cuyler Bunner

The Way to Arcady. Compare Louise Chandler Moulton, The Secret of Arcady (1892).

“Ah woe is me, through all my days
Wisdom and wealth I both have got,
And fame and name and great men’s praise;
But Love, ah! Love I have it not.”

Henry Cuyler Bunner
