Long Distance

“If thou must love me, let it be for nought / Except for love's sake only.”

“Distance makes the heart grow fonder.”

“At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly / To the lone vale we loved, when life shone warm in thine eye.”

“I like you when you are quiet, because it is as though you are absent.”

“Yet, yet I love!—From Abelard it came, / And Eloisa yet must kiss the name.”

“Love moves the sun and the other stars.”

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

“If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”

“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.”

“She loved me for the dangers I had passed, / And I loved her that she did pity them.”

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, / That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

“But think that we / Are but turned aside to sleep; / They who one another keep / Alive, ne'er parted be.”

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

“When you are old and grey and full of sleep, / And nodding by the fire, take down this book”
