Quotes

  • We have been friends together In sunshine and in shade.Since first beneath the chestnut-treeIn fancy we playedBut coldness dwells within thine heart A cloud is on thy brow.We have been friends together,— Shall a light word part us now?
  • I am listening for the voicesWhich I heard in days of old.
  • Love not! love not! ye hopeless sons of clay; Hope’s gayest wreaths are made of earthly flowers—Things that are made to fade and fall away, Ere they have blossomed for a few short hours.
  • A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers;There was lack of woman’s nursing, there was dearth of woman’s tears.
  • Too innocent for coquetry, too fond for idle scorning—Oh friend, I fear the lightest heart makes sometimes heaviest mourning.
  • Every poet hopes that after-timesShall set some value on his votive lay.
