35 Quotes by Phoebe Cary

...true love is never blind, but rather brings an added light.

Death comes not to the living soul, nor age to the loving heart.

And though hard be the task, keep a stiff upper lip.

One sweetly solemn thought, comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer home today, than I ever have been before.

Do we call the star lost that is hidden / In the great light of morn?

I think true love is never blind, / But rather brings an added light; / An inner vision quick to find / The beauties hid from common sight.

Laugh out, O stream, from your bed of green, / Where you lie in the sun's embrace; / And talk to the reeds that o'er you lean / To touch your dimpled face ...

Books were put out, and 'had a run,' / Like coinage from the mint; / But which could fill the place of one, / That one they wouldn't print?

O that one unguarded moment! / Were it mine to live again, / All the strength of its temptation / Would appeal to me in vain.
