The frost stings sweetly with a burning kiss
More quotes by Roy Campbell
Translations (like wives) are seldom strictly faithful if they are in the least attractive.
Of Tin Gods you may oft have heard or read. But this one was entirely made of lead.
Our spirits leaped, hosannas of destruction,
Like desert lilies forked with tongues of fire.
South Africa, renowned both far and wide
For politics and little else beside.
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.
