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

And in that Heaven of all their wish, there shall be no more land, say fish
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
Image
All the little emptiness of love!

The worst of slaves is he whom passion rules.
Rupert Brooke

Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress and love has changed to kindliness.

Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
