More quotes by Rupert Brooke
Youth is stranger than fiction.
Rupert Brooke
The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble and the rough male kiss of blankets.
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
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
Proud, then, clear-eyed and laughing, go to greet Death as a friend!
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 have need to busy my heart with quietude.
Rupert Brooke
And in that Heaven of all their wish, there shall be no more land, say fish
Rupert Brooke
Spend in pure converse our eternal day Think each in each, immediately wise Learn all we lacked before hear, know, and say What this tumultuous body now denies And feel, who have laid our groping hands away And see, no longer blinded by our eyes.
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
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
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
A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.
Rupert Brooke
The worst of slaves is he whom passion rules.
Rupert Brooke
Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
Rupert Brooke
Infinite hungers leap no more I in the chance swaying of your dress and love has changed to kindliness.
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.
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
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
