The moon put forth a little diamond peak No bigger than an unobserved star, Or tiny point of fairy cimetar. - Endymion (bk. IV, l. 499) [Moon] Young playmates of the rose and daffodil, Be careful ere ye enter in, to fill Your baskets high With fennel green, and balm, and golden pines Savory latter-mint, and columbines. - Endymion (bk. IV, l. 575) [Flowers] Its sides I'll plant with dew-sweet eglantine. - Endymion (bk. IV, l. 700) [Sweetbrier Roses] Each Bond-street buck conceits, unhappy elf; He shows his clothes! alas! he shows himself. O that they knew, these overdrest self-lovers, What hides the body oft the mind discovers. - Epigrams--Clothes [Apparel] . . . the rose Blendeth its odor with the violet,-- Solution sweet. - Eve of St. Agnes (st. 36) [Flowers] Dry your eyes--O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies. - Fairy Song [Paradise] So, when dark thoughts my boding spirit shroud, Sweet Hope! celestial influence round me shed Waving thy silver pinions o'er my head. - Hope (st. 8) [Hope] To that large utterance of the early gods! - Hyperion (bk. I) [Gods] How beautiful, if sorrow had not made Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self. - Hyperion (bk. I, l. 36) [Sorrow] No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest. - Hyperion (bk. I, l. 7) [Nature] Those green-robed senators of mighty woods, Tall oaks, branch-charmed by the earnest stars, Dream, and so dream all night without a stir. - Hyperion (bk. I, l. 73) [Oak] Thy thunder, conscious of the new command, Rumbles reluctant o'er our fallen house. - Hyperion (l. 60) [Thunder] A filbert-hedge with wild-briar overtwined, And clumps of woodbine taking the soft wind Upon their summer thrones. - I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill [Woodbines] A tuft of evening primroses, O'er which the mind may hover till it dozes; O'er which it well might take a pleasant sleep, But that 'tis ever startled by the leap Of buds into ripe flowers. - I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill [Primroses] And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets. - I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill [Violets] Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight; With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white, And taper fingers catching at all things, To bind them all about with tiny rings. - I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill [Peas, Sweet] Open afresh your round of starry folds, Ye ardent marigolds! Dry up the moisture from your golden lips. - I Stood Tiptoe Upon a Little Hill [Marigolds] And O and O, The daisies blow, And the primroses are waken'd; And the violets white Sit in silver plight, And the green bud's as long as the spike end. - In a Letter to Haydon [Flowers] He knew whose gentle hand was at the latch, Before the door had given her to his eyes. - Isabella (st. 3) [Wives] Oh, what can all thee knight at arms Alone and palely loitering? - La belle dame sane merci [Books (First Lines)] I met a lady in the meads Full beautiful--a faery's child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild. - La Belle Dame sans Merci [Women] Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is--Love, forgive us!--cinders, ashes, dust. - Lamia (pt. II) [Love] There was an awful rainbow once in heaven; We know her woof, her texture; she is given In the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings. - Lamia (pt. II, l. 231) [Rainbows] I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem, and to be given away by a Novel. - Letter to Fanny Brawne (letter II) [Matrimony] I long to believe in immortality. . . .

I wish to believe in immortality--I wish to live with you forever. - Letter to Fanny Brawne (XXXVI) [Immortality] Displaying page 3 of 5 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5
