More quotes by Rupert Brooke
All the little emptiness of love!
Rupert Brooke

The worst of slaves is he whom passion rules.
Rupert Brooke
A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.

In your arms was still delight, Quiet as a street at night And thoughts of you, I do remember, Were green leaves in a darkened chamber, Were dark clouds in a moonless sky.

Rupert Brooke
Hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Rupert Brooke

Rupert Brooke
I have been so great a lover: filled my days So proudly with the splendour of Love's praise, The pain, the calm, and the astonishment, Desire illimitable, and silent content, And all dear names men use, to cheat despair, For the perplexed and viewless streams that bear Our hearts at random down the dark of life.
Rupert Brooke
