MY SELECTED QUOTES ----PART 5

1.     There is something horrible about a flower; this, broken in my hand, is one of those he threw in just now: it will not live another hour; here are thousands more : you do not miss a rose. ----English War Poetess Charlotte Mew (1869-1928). In Nunhead Cemetery, from The Farmer’s Bride.

2.     If I should die, think only this of me: That there’s some corner of a foreign field that is for ever England. -----English War Poet Rupert Brooke (!887-1915): From The Soldier.

3.     (a). It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs. ------English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy (1840-1928).    

(b). I shall do one thing in this life ---one thing certain --- that is, love you, and long for you, and keep wanting you till I die. ----Thomas Hardy.

      4. Mankind never loses any good thing, physical, intellectual, or moral, till it finds a better, and then the loss is a gain. No steps backward, is the rule of human history. What is gained by one man is invested in all men, and is a permanent investment for all time. ----American theologian Theodore Parker (1810-1860).

            5. In tragic life, God wot, no villain need be ! Passions spin the plot. We are betrayed by what is false within. ----English novelist and poet George Meredith (1828-1909),
