JAMES THOMSON (2) (KNOWN AS B.V. OR BYSSHE VANOLIS)
Scottish poet and essayist
(1834 - 1882)

The city of dreadful night.
      - Current Literature for 1889 (p. 492)
        [Cities]

Give a man a horse he can ride,
  Give a man a boat he can sail.
      - Sunday Up the River (st. 15) [Usefulness]

The wine of Love is music,
  And the feast of Love is song:
    And when Love sits down to the banquet,
      Love sits long:
        . . . .
          Sits long and rises drunken,
            But not with the feast and the wine;
              He reeleth with his own heart,
                That great, rich Vine.
      - The Vine [Intemperance]
