When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls--the World. - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 145) [Rome] O! that the Desert were my dwelling place, With one fair Spirit for my minister, That I might all forget the human race, And, hating no one, love but only her! - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 177) [Love] There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes By the deep Sea, and music in its roar. - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 178) [Pleasure] Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean--roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain; Man marks the earth with ruin--his control Stops with the shore. - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 179) [Ocean] Without a grave, unknell'd, uncoffin'd, and unknown. - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 179) [Death] Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow, Such as Creation's dawn beheld, thou rollest now. - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 182) [Ocean] The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone. - Childe Harold (canto IV, st. 183) [Ocean] And I have loved them, Ocean! and my joy Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be Borne, like shy bubbles, onward; from a boy I wanton'd with thy breakers. . . . .

To hold thee lightly on a gentle knee, And print on thy soft cheek a parents kiss, This, it should seem, was not reserved for me; Yet this was in my nature: as it is, I know not what is there, yet something like to this. - Childe Harold (III, 116) [Children] What exile from himself can flee? To zones, though more and more remote, Still, still pursues, where'er I be, The blight of life--the demon Thought. - Childe Harold--To Inez (canto I, st. 84, l. 6) [Thought] When health, affrighted, spreads her rosy wing, And flies with every changing gale of spring. - Childish Recollections (l. 3) [Health] Displaying page 21 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
