T'is the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone.
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

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
Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.
Thomas Moore
Image
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
Thomas Moore
Image
Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
Thomas Moore
Image
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas Moore
Image
In our prayer and meditation we hope for fulfilling ordinary life.
Thomas Moore

The devil...the prowde spirite...cannot endure to be mocked.

Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, grow pure by being purely shone upon.
