Maurice Thompson

James Maurice Thompson (b. September 9 1844, Fairfield, Indiana – d. February 15 1901) was an American novelist, poet, essayist, archer and naturalist. Quotes When Spring is old, and dewy windsBlow from the south, with odors sweet,I see my love, in shadowy groves,Speed down dark aisles on shining feet. Atalanta’s Race. She throws a kiss, and bids me runIn whispers sweet as roses’ breath;I know I can not win the race,And at the end, I know, is death. Atalanta’s Race. Bubble, bubble, flows the streamLike an old tune through a dream. In Haunts of Bass and Bream.
