A woman may live without a lover, but a lover once admitted, she never goes through life with only one. She is deserted, and cannot bear her anguish and solitude, and hence fills up the void with a second idol. - [Love] Curses are like young chickens, And still come home to roost! - [Proverbs] Fresh glides the brook and blows the gale, Yet yonder halts the quiet mill; The whirring wheel, the rushing sail How motionless and still! Six days stern Labour shut the poor From nature's careless banquet-hall; The seventh, an Angel opes the door, And, smiling, welcomes all! - [Sabbath] Lovers have an ineffable instinct which detects the presence of rivals. - [Love] My lips pressed themselves involuntarily to hers--a long, long kiss, burning intense--concentrating emotion, heart, soul, all the rays of life's light, into a single focus. - [Kisses] The moment a woman marries, some terrible revolution happens in her system; all her good qualities vanish, presto, like eggs out of a conjuror's box. 'Tis true that they appear on the other side of the box, but for the husband they are gone forever. - [Matrimony] There is not so agonizing a feeling in the whole catalogue of human suffering as the first conviction that the heart of the being whom we most tenderly love is estranged from us. - [Estrangement : Unfaithfulness] Whoever, with an earnest soul, Strives for some end from this low world afar, Still upward travels though he miss the goal, And strays--but towards a star. - [Heroes]
