28 Quotes by Richard Crashaw

And when life's sweet fable ends,Soul and body part like friends;No quarrels, murmurs, no delay;A kiss, a sigh, and so away.

Eyes are vocal, tears have tongues, \ And there are words not made with lungs

O thou undaunted daughter of desires! / By all thy dower of lights and fires; / By all the eagle in thee, all the dove; / By all thy lives and deaths of love; / By thy large draughts of intellectual day.

Two walking baths; two weeping motions;/ Portable, and compendious oceans.

Welcome, all wonders in one sight! Eternity shut in a span.

Farewell house, and farewell home! / She's for the Moors, and martyrdom.

It was Thy day, sweet! and did rise / Not from the East, but from Thine eyes.

The conscious water saw its God, and blushed.

Eyes that displace the neighbor diamond, and outface that sunshine by their own sweet grace.
