1837-1909, British Poet
Thou has conquered, O pale Galilean.
A. C. Swinburne – [Jesus Christ]


Time turns the old days to derision, our loves into corpses or wives; and marriage and death and division make barren our lives.
A. C. Swinburne – [Time and Time Management]


We shift and bedeck and bedrape us, thou art noble and nude and antique.
A. C. Swinburne – [Nudity]
