But sighs subside, and tears (even widows') shrink, Like Arno in the summer, to a shallow. - [Proverbs] But still her lips refused to say, farewell: for in that word, that fatal word, howe'er we promise, hope, believe, there breathes despair. - [Parting] But thy true lovers more admire by far Thy naked beauties; give me a cigar. - [Proverbs] But time strips our illusions of their hue, And one by one in turn some grand mistake Casts off its bright skin yearly like a snake. - [Proverbs] But who alas! can love and then be wise? - [Proverbs] But who would scorn the month of June, Because December with his breath so hoary, Must come? Much rather should he court the ray, To hoard up warmth against a wintry day. - [Proverbs] By heaven! it is a splendid sight to see (For one who hath no friend, no brother there) Their rival scarfs of mix'd embroidery, Their various arms that glitter in the air! What gallant war-hounds rouse them from their lair, And gnash their fangs, loud yelling for the prey! All join the chase, but few the triumph share; The grave shall bear the chiefest prize away, And havoc scarce for joy can number their array. - [War] By satire kept in awe, shrink from ridicule, though not from law. - [Satire] By those tresses unconfin'd, Woo'd by very gentle wind; By those lids whose jetty fringe Kiss thy soft cheek's blooming tinge; By those wild eyes, like the roe, Ah! hear my vow before I go-- My dearest life, I love thee! Can I cease to love thee?--no! Zoe mous s-as ogapo. - [Proposals] Chaste were his steps, each kept within due bound, And elegance was sprinkled o'er his figure; Like swift Camilla, he scarce skimm'd the ground. And rather held in than put forth his vigor. And then he had an ear for music's sound, Which might defy a crotchet critic's rigor. Such classic pas--sans flaws--set off our hero. He glanced like a personified Bolero. - [Dancing] Circumstance, that unspiritual god and miscreator, makes and helps along our coming evils. - [Circumstance] Cleverness and cunning are incompatible. - [Cunning] Clime of the unforgotten brave! Whose land, from plain to mountain-cave, Was Freedom's home, or Glory's grave; Shrine of the mighty! can it be, That this is all remains of thee? - [Greece] Constant thought will overflow in words unconsciously. - [Thought] Could we but keep our spirit to that height, We might be happy; but the clay will sink Its thoughts immortal. - [Thought] Danger levels man and brute, and all are fellows in their need. - [Danger] Dead! God, how much there is in that little word! - [Death] Decayed in thy glory and sunk in thy worth. - [France] Deep in my shut and silent heart. - [Secrecy] Deformity is daring; It is its essence to o'ertake mankind By heart and soul, and make itself the equal-- Ay, the superior of the rest. There is A spur in its halt movements, to become All that the others cannot, in such things As still are free for both, to compensate For stepdame Nature's avarice at first. - [Deformity] Demons in act, but gods at least in face. - [Proverbs] Despair defies even despotism; there is that in my heart would make its way through hosts with leveled spears. - [Despair] Despair of all recovery spoils longevity, And makes men's miseries of alarming brevity. - [Proverbs] Does not the law of Heaven say blood for blood? And he who taints kills more than he who sheds it. - [Slander] Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills. - [Proverbs] Displaying page 3 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
