Love is that orbit of the restless soul
Whose circle grazes the confines of space,
Bounding within the limits of its race
Utmost extremes.

More quotes by George Henry Boker

"Freedom!" their battle-cry,—
"Freedom! or leave to die!"

Lovers are
Like walking ghosts, they always haunt the spot
Of their misdeeds.

Francesca da Rimini (1853)

Fold him in his country's stars,
Roll the drum and fire the volley!
What to him are all our wars,
What but death bemocking folly?

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
