Quote #18

And the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!

More from Thomas Moore

  1. The Minstrel-Boy to the war is gone In the ranks of death you will find him His father's sword he hath girded on And his wild harp slung be…
  2. You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
  3. 'Tis the last rose of Summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone.
  4. No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us All earth forgot, and all heaven around us.
  5. Eyes of unholy blue.
  6. The light that lies In woman's eyes, Has been my heart's undoing.
  7. But there's nothing half so sweet in life As love's young dream.
  8. My only books Were woman's looks, And folly's all they've taught me.
