Weatherby, given in the "N.Y. Times Review" as his poem, but not found And the King with his golden sceptre, The Pope with Saint Peter's key, Can never unlock the one little heart That is opened only to me. For I am the Lord of a Realm, And I am Pope of a See; Indeed I'm supreme in the kingdom That is sitting, just now, on my knee. - Charles Henry Webb, The King and the Pope Love is what you make it and who you make it with. - Mae West Saving love doesn't bring any interest. - Mae West Love hath never known a law beyond its own sweet will. - John Greenleaf Whittier O, rank is good, and gold is fair, And high and low mate ill; But love has never known a law Beyond its own sweet will! - John Greenleaf Whittier, Amy Wentworth (st. 18) "I'm sorry that I spell'd the word; I hate to go above you, Because"--the brown eyes lowered fell,-- "Because, you see, I love you!" - John Greenleaf Whittier, In School-Days (st. 4) Each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) The heart was made to be broken. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) Women love men for their defects; if men have enough of them, women will forgive them anything, even their gigantic intellects. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love. - Thornton Niven Wilder And whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day. - Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love Your love in a cottage is hungry, Your vine is a nest for flies-- Your milkmaid shocks the Graces, And simplicity talks of pies! You lie down to your shady slumber And wake with a bug in your ear, Any your damsel that walks in the morning Is shod like a mountaineer. - Nathaniel Parker Willis, Love in a Cottage (st. 3) He loves not well whose love is bold!

VI) For mightier far Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the sway Of magic potent over sun and star, Is love, though oft to agony distrest, And though his favourite be feeble woman's breast. - William Wordsworth, Laodamia (st. 15) O dearer far than light and life are dear. - William Wordsworth, Poems Founded on the Affections (no. XIX, To------, VII, 114), (Knight's edition) While all the future, for thy purer soul, With "sober certainties" of love is blest. - William Wordsworth, Poems Founded on the Affections (VII, 115), (Knight's edition) Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever. - Sir Thomas Wyatt (Wyat), Songs and Sonnets--A Renouncing of Love Stand by your man. - Tammy Wynette What lively lad most pleasured me Of all that with me lay? - William Butler Yeats, Collected Poems (p. 270) Art thou not dearer to my eyes than light?
