Ah, Love! could you and I with Him conspire
More quotes by Edward FitzGerald
Ah, take the Cash in hand and waive the rest;
Oh, the brave Music of a distant Drum!
Leave well — even 'pretty well' — alone: that is what I learn as I get old.
Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say;
Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday?

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.
