William Morris
(1834-1896) born on Mar 24

English "craftsman, poet". "He was noted for his wallpaper and tapestry designs, and wrote "The Life and Death of Jason," 1862."

Wind, wind! thou art sad, art thou kind?
Wind, wind, unhappy! thou art blind,
Yet still thou wanderest the lily-seed to find."

"If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."

Pray but one prayer for me 'twixt thy closed lips.

Boundless risk must pay for boundless gain.

"So I say, if you cannot learn to love real art; at least learn to hate sham art and reject it."
