Rupert Brooke

Rupert Brooke
Canada is a live country - live, but not, like the States, kicking.
Rupert Brooke
There are only three things in the world, one is to read poetry, another is to write poetry, and the best of all is to live poetry.
Rupert Brooke
These laid the world away poured out the red Sweet wine of youth gave up the years to be Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene, That men call age and those who would have been, Their sons, they gave, their immortality.
Rupert Brooke
If I should die, think only this of me: that there's some corner of a foreign field that is for ever England.

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
Now, God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour, And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping, With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power, To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping.
Rupert Brooke
Incredibly, inordinately, devastatingly, immortally, calamitously, hearteningly, adorably beautiful.
Rupert Brooke
The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble and the rough male kiss of blankets.
Rupert Brooke
The worst of slaves is he whom passion rules.
Rupert Brooke
Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond But is there anything Beyond?
Rupert Brooke
War knows no power. Safe shall be my going, Secretly armed against all death's endeavour Safe though all safety's lost safe where men fall And if these poor limbs die, safest of all.
Rupert Brooke
Hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Rupert Brooke
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
And I shall find some girl perhaps, and a better one than you, With eyes as wise, but kindlier, and lips as soft, but true, and I dare say she will do.
Rupert Brooke
A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.
Rupert Brooke
There's little comfort in the wise
Rupert Brooke
But only agony, and that has ending And the worst friend and enemy is but Death.
Rupert Brooke
