Arthur Symons Love Quotations

And I would have, now love is over, An end to all, an end: I cannot, having been your lover Stoop to become your friend!

Sweet, can I sing you the song of your kisses? How soft is this one, how subtle this is, How fluttering swift as a bird's kiss that is, As a bird that taps at a leafy lattice; How this one clings and how that uncloses From bud to flower in the way of roses.

Love is a flaming heart, and its flames aspire / Till they cloud the soul in the smoke of a windy fire.

To have loved, to have been made happy thus, / What better fate has life in store for us?

As perfume doth remain In the folds where it hath lain, So the thought of you, remaining Deeply folded in my brain, Will not leave me: all things leave me: You remain.
