I love it, I love it; and who shall dare
More quotes by Eliza Cook
Better build school-rooms for "the boy,"
Than cells and gibbets for "the man."
How cruelly sweet are the echoes that start
When Memory plays an old tune on the heart.
Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start
When Memory plays an old tune on the heart!

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.
