The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, And tints to-morrow with prophetic ray! - The Bride of Abydos (canto II, st. 20) [Prophecy (Prophesy) : Wives] Mark! where his carnage and his conquests cease, He makes a solitude and calls it--peace! - The Bride of Abydos (canto II, st. 20) [Peace] Hark! to the hurried question of Despair "Where is my child?"--An echo answers-- "Where?" - The Bride of Abydos (canto II, st. 27) [Echo] O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free, Far as the breeze can bear, the billows foam, Survey our empire, and behold our home! - The Corsair (canto I, st. 1) [Navigation] Oh, who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried? - The Corsair (canto I, st. 1) [Experience] She walks the waters like a thing of life, And seems to dare the elements to strife. - The Corsair (canto I, st. 3) [Ships] Such hath it been--shall be--beneath the sun The many still must labour for the one. - The Corsair (canto I, st. 8) [Labor] She bears her down majestically near, Speed on her prow, and terror in her tier. - The Corsair (canto III, st. 15) [Ships] He left a Corsair's name to other times, Linked with one virtue, and a thousand crimes. - The Corsair (canto III, st. 24) [Names] The law of heaven and earth is life for life. - The Curse of Minerva (st. 15) [Law] I tell thee, be not rash; a golden bridge Is for a flying enemy. - The Deformed Transformed (act II, sc. 2) [Recklessness] And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy; They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being. - The Dream (st. 1) [Dreams] Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world, And a wide realm of wild reality, And dreams in their development have breath, And tears and tortures, and the touch of joy. - The Dream (st. 1) [Sleep] Displaying page 32 of 34 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 [32] 33 34
