Francis Thompson — English Poet born on December 18, 1859, died on November 13, 1907

Francis Thompson was an English poet and ascetic. After attending college, he moved to London to become a writer, but could only find menial work and became addicted to opium, and was a street vagrant for years. A married couple read his poetry and rescued him, publishing his first book Poems in 1893. Thompson lived as an unbalanced invalid in Wales and at Storrington, but wrote three books of poetry, with other works and essays, before dying of tuberculosis in 1907... (wikipedia)

All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.
An atheist is a man who believes himself an accident.
For we are born in other's pain, and perish in our own.
The devil doesn't know how to sing, only how to howl.
And left the flushed print in a poppy there.
