Heartbreak

“A man does not recover from such a devotion of the heart to such a woman! He ought not; he does not.”

“The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.”

“But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand, / And the sound of a voice that is still!”

“Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art— / Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night”

“In secret we met— / In silence I grieve, / That thy heart could forget, / Thy spirit deceive.”

“It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.”

“Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.”

“We were together. I forget the rest.”

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

“Wild nights — Wild nights! / Were I with thee Wild nights should be Our luxury! / Rowing in Eden — Ah — the Sea! / Might I but moor — tonight — In thee!”

“The most terrible thing about it is not that it breaks one's heart — hearts are made to be broken — but that it turns one's heart to stone.”

“And when I feel, fair creature of an hour, / That I shall never look upon thee more”

“Tonight I can write the saddest lines.”

“The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places.”

“That it will never come again / Is what makes life so sweet.”

“Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean / Tears from the depth of some divine despair.”

“Thus with a kiss I die.”

“O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, as one dead in the bottom of a tomb”

“Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore / So do our minutes hasten to their end”

“We loved with a love that was more than love”
