But the strong base and building of my love is as the very centre of the earth, drawing all things to it.
By heaven, I do love: and it hath taught me to rhyme, and to be mekancholy.
Even as one heat another heat expels, or as one nail by strength drives out another, so the remembrance of my former love is by a newer object quite forgotten.
If love be blind, it best agrees with night
If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark
If they love they know not why, they hate upon no better ground, they hate upon no better a ground
Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies
Love thrives not in the heart that shadows dreadeth
Against love's fire fear`s frost hath dissolution
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
Make not your thoughts your prisons.
A sad tale's best for winter. I have one of sprites and goblins.
Remuneration! O! That's the Latin word for three farthings
