Quotes The curate thinks you have no soul;  I know that he has none. "To a Dog", st. 1. New Poems (London: Archibald Constable & Co, 1908) pp. 85–86 But in some canine Paradise  Your wraith, I know, rebukes the moon,And quarters every plain and hill,  Seeking its master... As for meThis prayer at least the gods fulfill;  That when I pass the flood and seeOld Charon by the Stygian coast  Take toll of all the shades who land,Your little, faithful barking ghost  May leap to lick my phantom hand.
