Aubrey Thomas de Vere quotes

The warrior for the True, the Right,
Fights in Love's name;
The love that lures thee from that fight
Lures thee to shame:
That love which lifts the heart, yet leaves
The spirit free,-
That love, or none, is fit for one
Man-shaped like thee. (Aubrey Thomas de Vere)

Softly, O midnight hours! Move softly o'er the bowers Where lies in happy sleep a girl so fair: For ye have power, men say, Our hearts in sleep to sway And cage cold fancies in a moonlight snare.

Aubrey Thomas de Vere

Look up! the proof is round you written large; Your Faith is in the balance wanting found; Your shipless seas confess it; bridgeless streams; Your wasted wealth of ore, and moor, and bay. Beneath the Upas shade of Faith depraved All things lie dead -- wealth, comfort, freedom, power.

Aubrey Thomas de Vere

Man should be ever better than he seems.

Aubrey Thomas de Vere

Memory, in widow's weeds, with naked feet stands on a tombstone.
