It is good to be merry and wise,
It is good to be honest and true:
'Tis well to be off with the old love
Before you go on with the new.

-Anonymous
(modern version of an old song)


Ask not of me, love, what is love?
Ask what is good of God above -
Ask of the great sun what is light-
Ask what is darkness of the night
........................
Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss -
Ask of thyself what beauty is.

- P.J. Bailey, Festus


The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

-F.W. Bourdillon, Light
 

Love is the business of the idle, but the idleness of the busy.

- Bulwer-Lytton, Rienzi


In her first passion woman loves her lover;
In all others, all she loves is love.

- Byron, Don Juan, III



He that loves a rosy cheek,
Or a coral lip admires,
Or from star-like eyes doth seek
Fuel to maintain his fires,
As Old Time makes these decay,
So his flames must waste away.

-Thomas Carew, Disdain Returned



All thought, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
Are but the ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame.

- S.T. Coleridge, Love
