Quotes

True love hates and will not bear delay
If you wished to be loved, love
That best portion of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love.
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love.
Lines completed a few miles above Tintern Abbey

'Twill make a thing endurable, which else
Would overset the brain, or break the heart.
'Twill make a thing endurable, which else
Would overset the brain, or break the heart.
But how can he expect that others should
Build for him, sow for him, and at his call
Love him, who for himself will take no heed at all?
Build for him, sow for him, and at his call
Love him, who for himself will take no heed at all?
Resolution and Independence
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And love and thought and joy.
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And love and thought and joy.

Mightier far
Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the sway
Of magic potent over sun and star,
Is Love, though oft to agony distrest,
And though his favorite seat be feeble woman's breast.
Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the sway
Of magic potent over sun and star,
Is Love, though oft to agony distrest,
And though his favorite seat be feeble woman's breast.
