WALTER DE LA MARE
English poet and novelist
(1873 - 1956)

All day long the door of the sub-conscious remains just ajar; we slip through to the other side, and return again, as easily and secretly as a cat.
      - [Subconscious]

Ann, Ann!
  Come! quick as you can!
    There's a fish that talks
      In the frying-pan.
      - Alas, Alack [Fish]

"Is there anybody there?" said the Traveller,
  Knocking on the moonlit door.
      - The Listener [Books (First Lines)]

And some win peace who spend
  The skill of words to sweeten despair
    Of finding consolation where
      Life has but one dark end.
      - The Riddlers [Death]

Wide are the meadows of night
  And daisies are shining there,
    Tossing their lovely dews,
      Lustrous and fair;
        And through these sweet fields go,
          Wanderers amid the stars--
            Venus, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune,
              Saturn, Jupiter, Mars.
      - The Wanderers [Planets]
