I have found no Web source that gives a citation for this quote beyond attributing it to Housman (note spelling). There are many fabricated, misattributed and spurious quotations online, and this may be one of them. |

I think - but I don't know- that this quote has been attributed, by some, to Lawrence Housman, A.E's, brother. |
