Euclid Alone Has Looked on Beauty Bare.
Life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse.
Time can make soft that iron wood.
The only people I really hate are servants. They’re not really human beings at all.
Youth, have no pity; leave no farthing here For age to invest in compromise and fear.
Let us not forget such words, and all they mean, as hatred, bitterness, and rancor greed, intolerance, bigotry; let us renew our faith and pledge to man, his right to be himself and free.
The fabric of my faithful love No power shall dim or ravel Whilst I stay here – but oh, my dear, If I should ever travel!
Sweet love, sweet thorn, when lightly to my heart. I took your thrust, whereby I since am slain, And I lie disheveled in the grass apart, A sodden thing bedrenched by tears and rain.
