“Would Jove appoint some flower to reign, in matchless beauty on the plain, the Rose (mankind will all agree). The Rose the queen of flowers should be.”

With his venom irresistible and bittersweet that loosener of limbs, Love reptile-like strikes me down

He who is fair to look upon is good, and he who is good will soon be fair also.

Some say an army of horsemen, or infantry, A fleet of ships is the fairest thing On the face of the black earth, but I say It’s what one loves.

How love the limb-loosener sweeps me away.

Mere air, these words, but delicious to hear.

Experience shows us Wealth unchaperoned by Virtue is never an innocuous neighbor.

Hesperus bringing together All that the morning star scattered.

The moon is setand the Pleiades; Middle ofthe night, time passes by,I lie alone.

Builders, raise the ceiling high, Raise the dome into the sky, Hear the wedding song! For the happy groom is near, Tall as Mars, and statelier, Hear the wedding song!

Without warning as a whirlwind swoops on an oak Love shakes my heart.

The evening star Is the most beautiful of all stars.

From all the offspring of the earth and heaven love is the most precious.

I took my lyre and said: come now, my heavenly tortoise shell: become a speaking instrument.

Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.

You may forget but let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us.

Although only breath, words which I command are immortal.

Fully secure systems don’t exist today and they won’t exist in the future.

Give yourself a moment, to breathe, to love, to heal and to live.

I lay the clothes out on the floor with the shoes and socks,

It’s disheartening that animal people criticize societies that enlist the help of actors or organize creative acts like ‘I’d rather go naked than wear fur,’ to increase public awareness to our cause.

They are intelligent beings in their own right, and thoroughly self-sufficient… if not molested by humans.

I’m not saying that negatively. It’s healthy.

Love has both its gall and honey in abundance: it has sweetness to the taste, but it presents bitterness also to satiety.

And you don’t want them to look at you in a negative light.
