The flower and fruit of love are mine
More quotes by Stevie Smith
This Englishwoman is so refined
She has no bosom and no behind.
Was he married, did he try
To support as he grew less fond of them
Wife and family?
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.
