“ Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain. ”

“ Oh that it were possible, After long grief and pain, To find the arms of my true love, around me once again ”

“ Shall love be blamed for want of faith? ”

“ And in the lighted palace near died the sound of royal cheer; and they cross'd themselves for fear, all the nights at Camelot: but Lancelot mused a little space; he said, 'she has a lovely face; God in his mercy send her grace, The Lady of Shalott'. ”

“ Sweet is true love, though given in vain. ”

“ Who is wise in love, love most, say least. ”

“ As tho to breathe were life! Life piled on life were all too little, and of one to me little remains: but every hour is saved from that eternal silence. ”

“ I hold it truth, with him who sings to one clear harp in divers tones, that men may rise on stepping-stones of their dead selves to higher things. ”

“ Such a one do I remember, whom to look at was love. ”

“ Love lieth deep; love dwells not in lip-depths; love laps his wings on either side the heart. ”
