Where shall the lover rest,
More quotes by Walter Scott
O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
Her blue eyes sought the west afar,
For lovers love the western star.
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.
