A love that took an early root,
More quotes by Thomas Kibble Hervey
Like ships, that sailed for sunny isles,
But never came to shore.
The tomb of him who would have made
The world too glad and free.

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.
