Robert Graves Love Quotations

In love as in sport, the amateur status must be strictly maintained.

One smile relieves a heart that grievesthough deadly sad it be,and one hard look Can close the book that lovers love to see.

Love is a universal migraine. A bright stain on the vision, Blotting out reason.

Love is universal migraine, A bright stain on the vision Blotting out reason. Symptoms of true love Are leanness, jealousy, Laggard dawns; Are omens and nightmares - Listening for a knock, Waiting for a sign: For a touch of her fingers In a darkened room, For a searching look. Take courage, lover! Could you endure such pain At any hand but hers?

For words of rapture groping, they"Never such love," swore "ever before was!"

Lovers to-day and for all time Preserve the meaning of my rhyme: Love is not kindly nor yet grim But does to you as you to him.
