O'er her warm cheek and rising bosom move
More quotes by Thomas Gray
Dear, as the light that visits these sad eyes;
Dear, as the ruddy drops that warm my heart.
Rich windows that exclude the light,
And passages that lead to nothing.
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.
