Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.

Love rules the camp, the court, the grove - for love is Heaven, and Heaven is love.

What an antithetical mind! - tenderness, roughness - delicacy, coarseness - sentiment, sensuality - soaring and groveling, dirt and deity - all mixed up in that one compound of inspired clay!

I slept and dreamt that life was beauty; I woke and found that life was duty.

You should have a softer pillow than my heart.

I cannot describe to you the despairing sensation of trying to do something for a man who seems incapable or unwilling to do anything further for himself.

My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.
