37 quotes
Love lieth deep; Love dwells not in lip-depths.
Yet is there one true line, the pearl of pearls:
Man dreams of Fame while woman wakes to love.
I will love thee to the death,
And out beyond into the dream to come.
A mastiff dog
May love a puppy cur for no more reason
Than that the twain have been tied up together.
'Tis better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all.
Of love that never found his earthly close,
What sequel?
Love's too precious to be lost,
A little grain shall not be spilt.
My doom is, I love thee still.
Let no man dream but that I love thee still.
Love is hurt with jar and fret;
Love is made a vague regret.
A daughter of the gods, divinely tall,
And most divinely fair.
In a wink the false love turns to hate.
For love reflects the thing beloved.
Love will conquer at the last.
Who are wise in love
Love most, say least
