Edmund Waller Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• Tea does our fancy aid, Repress those vapours which the head invade And keeps that palace of the soul serene.

  Edmund Waller

  Soul, Tea, Doe

  Edmund Waller (1854). “Poetical works, ed. by R. Bell”, p.211

• The soul's dark cottage, batter'd and decay'd, Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made. Stronger by weakness, wiser men become As they draw near to their eternal home: Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view That stand upon the threshold of the new.

  Edmund Waller

  Time, Home, Dark

  'On the Foregoing Divine Poems' l. 18

• Consent in virtue knit your hearts so fast,
  That still the knot, in spite of death, does last;
  For as your tears, and sorrow-wounded soul,
  Prove well that on your part this bond is whole,
  So all we know of what they do above,
  Is that they happy are, and that they love.
  Let dark oblivion, and the hollow grave,
  Content themselves our frailer thoughts to have;
  Well-chosen love is never taught to die,
  But with our nobler part invades the sky.

  Edmund Waller
