The heart desires,
  The hand refrains,
    The Godhead fires,
      The soul attains.
      - inscribed on four pictures of Pygmalion and Galatea by Burne-Jones
        [Art]

Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due time,
  Why should I strive to set the crooked straight?
    Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
      Beat with light wing against the ivory gate,
        Telling a tale not too importunate
          To those who in the sleepy region stay,
            Lulled by the singer of an empty day.
      - Apology to The Earthly Paradise [Sleep]

From out the throng and stress of lies,
  From out the painful noise of sighs,
    One voice of comfort seems to rise:
      "It is the meaner part that dies."
      - Comfort [Comfort]

Forsooth, brethren, fellowship is heaven and lack of fellowship is hell; fellowship is life and lack of fellowship is death; and the deeds that ye do upon the earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them.
      - Dream of John Ball (ch. IV) [Friendship]

So spake those wary foes, fair friends in look,
  And so in words great gifts they gave and took,
    And had small profit, and small loss thereby.
      - Jason (bk. VIII, 379) [Words]

Nor on one string are all life's jewels strung.
      - Life and Death of Jason (bk. 17, l, 1,170) [Life]

Slayer of the winter, art thou here again?
  O welcome, thou that bring'st the summer nigh!
    The bitter wind makes not the victory vain.
      Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky.
      - March (st. 1) [March]

O thrush, your song is passing sweet,
  But never a song that you have sung
    Is half so sweet as thrushes sang
      When my dear love and I were young.
      - Other Days [Thrushes]
