Image
I have need to busy my heart with quietude.
Rupert Brooke
Image
Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear, Each secret fishy hope or fear. Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond But is there anything Beyond? This life cannot be All, they swear, For how unpleasant, if it were! One may not doubt that, somehow, Good Shall come of Water and of Mud And, sure, the reverent eye must see A Purpose in Liquidity.

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.

The worst of slaves is he whom passion rules.

Just now the lilac is in bloom All before my little room.

Down the blue night the unending columns press In noiseless tumult, break and wave and flow

.. . . would I were In Grantchester, in Grantchester!
Rupert Brooke
Image
Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.
Rupert Brooke
Image
And in that Heaven of all their wish, there shall be no more land, say fish
Rupert Brooke

The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble and the rough male kiss of blankets.

Hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

If I should die, think only this of me: that there's some corner of a foreign field that is for ever England.
