O, human love! thou spirit given,
More quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
A dark unfathom'd tide
Of interminable pride —
A mystery, and a dream,
Should my early life seem.
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
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.
