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.

More quotes by 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
Incredibly, inordinately, devastatingly, immortally, calamitously, hearteningly, adorably beautiful.
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
Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
Rupert Brooke
But there's wisdom in women, of more than they have known, And thoughts go blowing through them, are wiser than their own.
Rupert Brooke
Store up reservoirs of calm and content and draw on them at later moments when the source isn't there, but the need is very great.
Rupert Brooke
Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.
Rupert Brooke
All the little emptiness of love!
Rupert Brooke
Just now the lilac is in bloom All before my little room.
Rupert Brooke
The worst of slaves is he whom passion rules.
Rupert Brooke
Youth is stranger than fiction.
Rupert Brooke
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.
Rupert Brooke
Love is a breach in the walls, a broken gate, Love sells the proud heart's citadel to fate.
Rupert Brooke
But only agony, and that has ending And the worst friend and enemy is but Death.
Rupert Brooke
Hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
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
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
I shall desire and I shall find The best of my desires The autumn road, the mellow wind That soothes the darkening shires. And laughter, and inn-fires.
Rupert Brooke
Canada is a live country - live, but not, like the States, kicking.
Rupert Brooke
Oh! death will find me, long before I tire Of watching for you and swing me suddenly Into the shade and loneliness and mire Of the last land!
