"I died for beauty but was scarceAdjusted in the tomb,When one who died for truth was lainIn an adjoining room.He questioned softly why I failed?"For beauty,"I replied."And I for truth, the two are one;We brethren are,"he said.And so, as kinsmen met a night,We talked between the rooms,Until the moss had reached our lips,And covered up our names."
"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."
"Till I loved I never lived."
"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."
"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."
