VII) [Delay] To be left alone And face to face with my own crime, had been Just retribution. - Masque of Pandora (pt. VIII, In the Garden) [Remorse : Retribution] I do not love thee for what is done, And cannot be undone. Thy very weakness Hath brought thee nearer to me, and henceforth My love will have a sense of pity in it, Making it less a worship than before. - Masque of Pandora (pt. VIII, In the Garden, l. 39) [Love] With useless endeavour, Forever, forever, Is Sisyphus rolling His stone up the mountain! - Masque of Pandora--Chorus of the Eumenides [Action] What else remains for me? Youth, hope and love; To build a new life on a ruined life. - Masque of Pandora--In the Garden (pt. VIII) [Expectation] Beautiful in form and feature, Lovely as the day, Can there be so fair a creature Formed of common clay? - Masque of Pandora--The Workshop of Hephoestus--Chorus of the Graces [Beauty] Decide not rashly.

II, 4) [Painting] The light upon her face Shines from the windows of another world. Saints only have such faces. - Michael Angelo (pt. II, 6) [Face] Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature, That fashions all her works in high relief, And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth, Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire; Men, women, and all animals that breathe Are statues, and not paintings. - Michael Angelo (pt. III, 5) [Sculpture] Sculpture is more than painting. It is greater To raise the dead to life than to create Phantoms that seem to live. - Michael Angelo (pt. III, 5) [Sculpture] And the hooded clouds, like friars, Tell their beads in drops of rain. - Midnight Mass for the Dying Year (st. 4) [Rain] The pen became a clarion. - Monte Cassino (st. 13) [Pen] In its sublime audacity of faith, "Be thou removed!" it to the mountain saith, And with ambitious feet, secure and proud, Ascends the ladder leaning on the cloud! - Morituri Salutamus [Youth] Write on your doors the saying wise and old, "Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere--"Be bold; Be not too bold!" Yet better the excess That the defect; better the more than less; Better like Hector in the field to die, Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly. - Morituri Salutamus [Courage] The joy of meeting not unmixed with pain. - Morituri Salutamus (l. 113) [Meeting] I see their scattered gravestones gleaming white Through the pale dusk of the impending night.

What can I say Better than silence is? - Morituri Salutamus (l. 128) [Silence] Whatever hath been written shall remain, Nor be erased nor written o'er again; The unwritten only still belongs to thee: Take heed, and ponder well what that shall be. - Morituri Salutamus (l. 168) [Authorship] How far the gulf-stream of our youth may flow Into the arctic regions of our lives, Where little else than life itself survives. - Morituri Salutamus (l. 250) [Age] Displaying page 20 of 26 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 [20] 21 22 23 24 25 26
