  • All love is sweet, Given or returned. Common as light is love, And its familiar voice wearies not ever. They who inspire is most are fortunate, As I am now: but those who feel it most Are happier still.
  • Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted.
  • Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry.
  • Life may change, but it may fly not; Hope may vanish, but can die not; Truth be veiled, but still it burneth; Love repulsed, but it returneth.
  • Rise like lions after slumber in invanquishable number - Shake your chains to earth like dew which in sleep had fallen on you - ye are many - they are few.
  • January gray is here, like a sexton by her grave; February bears the bier, march with grief doth howl and rave, and April weeps - but, O ye hours! Follow with May's fairest flowers.
  • Nothing in the world is single. All things by al law divine in one another's being mingle. Why not I with thine?
  • Man's yesterday may never be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability.
