Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore
Image
Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.
Thomas Moore
Image
The young May moon is beaming, love. The glow-worm's lamp is gleaming, love. How sweet to rove, Through Morna's grove, When the drowsy world is dreaming, love! Then awake! - the heavens look bright, my dear, 'Tis never too late for delight, my dear, And the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!
Thomas Moore

Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back.
Thomas Moore
Image
The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Thomas Moore
Image
Every season hath its pleasure Spring may boast her flowery prime, Yet the vineyard's ruby treasuries Brighten Autumn's sob'rer time.
Thomas Moore
Image
The past, the future: - two eternities!
Thomas Moore
Image
A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
Thomas Moore
Image
All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest.
Thomas Moore
