Lionel Johnson Quote

Our wearier spirit faints,
Vexed in the world's employ:
His soul was of the saints;
And art to him was joy.


By the Statue of King Charles at Charing Cross (1895)


Our wearier spirit faints, Vexed in the world's employ: His soul was of the saints; And art to him was joy.

Our wearier spirit faints, Vexed in the world's employ: His soul was of the saints; And art to him was joy.

Our wearier spirit faints, Vexed in the world's employ: His soul was of the saints; And art to him was joy.

Our wearier spirit faints, Vexed in the world's employ: His soul was of the saints; And art to him was joy.
