POETRY by HW Longfellow: (exerpt) All was ended now, the hope, the fear and sorrow, all the aching of the heart, the restless, unsatisfied longing, all the dull, deep pain, and constant anguish of patience.



Of all the agonies of life, that which is the most poignant and harrowing - that which for the time annhilates reason and leaves our whole organization one lacerated, mangled heart - is the conviction that we have been deceived where we placed all the trust of love. - Bulwer



The seal of truth is on thy gallant form, For none but cowards lie. - Murphy



Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all. - Holmes



Love is not in our choice, but in our fate. - Dryden (tho i'm unsure if i believe this, or not. )



Love is a pearl of purest hue, But stormy waves are round it;

And dearly may a woman rue, the hour that she first found it. - unknown



To her love was like the air of heaven - invisible, intangible; it yet encircled her soul, and she knew it; for in it was her life - unknown

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils; The notions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections are dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted.

Woman's natural mission is to love, to love but one, and to love always. - Michelet



O woman! in our hours of ease,

Uncertain, coy, and hard to please,

And variable as the shade,

By the light quivering aspen made;

When pain and anguish wring the brow,

A ministering angel thou! - Scott



Talking is a digestive process which is absolutely essential to the mental constitution of the man who devours many books. A full mind must have talk, or it will grow dispeptic. - unknown



Who would choose torture to delay death?

Be swift, please;

If it must come, bring it quickly.

If there is any care in you for anything,

finish this, one way or another -

take my heart or throw it away -

but stop dangling it on a string. - Mine (Cheryl Butler) {if for some odd reason you wanna use this, it's fine with me as long as it is not for profit, and please credit me; if it's used for profit, I'd need a percentage, ideally, if i could prove it. Don't really see that happening tho, but it is a strange world. Just be nice and be fair ; ) } {PS, if using this to say to your lover because you find self in same situation, of course i expect no credit. Again, not like I'd know, but anyhow, feel free to use it in a relationship situation to help get your point across if you think it'll help. Didn't with me, tho - I had to finally, after years of on-off bullshit, quit him}
