John Oxenham, pen name for Wiliam Arthur Dunkerley

English Journalist, Novelist and Poet

"Not for one single day can I discern my way, but this I surely know - who gives the day will show the way, so I securely go."

"To every soul there openeth a high way and a low; the high soul climbs the high way, the low soul gropes the low. And in between, on these misty flats, the rest drift to and fro. To every soul there openeth a high way and a low; and every man decideth which way his soul will go."

"For death begins with life's first breath And life begins at touch of death."

"Stretch a hand to one unfriended, and thy loneliness is ended."
