“And the song that the poet fashions,

And the love-bird’s musical strain,

Are jumbles of animal passions,

Refined by animal pain.”

Adam Lindsay Gordon

“Mere pluck, though not in the least sublime,

Is wiser than blank dismay.”

Adam Lindsay Gordon

Question not, but live and labour

Till yon goal be won,

Helping every feeble neighbour,

Seeking help from none;

Life is mostly froth and bubble,

Two things stand like stone:

KINDNESS in another’s trouble.

COURAGE in your own.

Adam Lindsay Gordon
