Old Friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air,
More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The knight's bones are dust,
And his good sword rust;
His soul is with the saints, I trust.
In many ways doth the full heart reveal
The presence of the love it would conceal.
Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And Hope without an object cannot live.

You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
