But there's wisdom in women, of more than they have known, And thoughts go blowing through them, are wiser than their own.

Image
Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress and love has changed to kindliness.
Rupert Brooke
Image
Love is a breach in the walls, a broken gate, Love sells the proud heart's citadel to fate.

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.

Mud unto mud!--Death eddies near-- Not here the appointed End, not here! But somewhere, beyond Space and Time, Is wetter water, slimier slime!

Rupert Brooke
Image
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
Image
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

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

.. . . would I were In Grantchester, in Grantchester!

But only agony, and that has ending And the worst friend and enemy is but Death.
