The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; But the light of a whole life dies When love is done. --_Francis W. Bourdillon._ 1173 One nail by strength drives out another, So the remembrance of my former love Is by a newer object quite forgotten. --_Shakespeare._ 1174 Love is like the moon; when it does not increase, it decreases. 1175 FORGET THEE? Behold the sun forget to shine, The brightest star to twinkle, The ivy round the oak to twine, The tearful heart to sprinkle The sod that wraps affection's grave, The never silent surging sea The sandy shore to lash and lave-- Then think that I'll forget thee. --_Winfred._ 1176 THE MAIDEN IN LOVE. Sweet mother, I can spin no more to-day, And all for a youth who has stolen my heart away. --_Sappho, 600 B. C._ --_Translated by Appleton._ 1177 We are easily duped by those whom we love. --_Moliere._ 1178 MORE THAN HIS SHARE. "Martha, does thee love me?" asked a quaker youth of one at whose shrine his heart's fondest feelings had been offered up. "Why, Seth," answered she, "we are commanded to love one another, are we not?" "Aye, Martha; but does thee regard me with that feeling that the world calls love?" "I hardly know what to tell thee, Seth; I have greatly feared that my heart was an erring one. I have tried to bestow my love on all; but I have sometimes thought, perhaps, that thee was getting rather more than thy share." --_Christian Observer._ 1179 No disguise can long conceal love where it is, nor feign it where it is not. --_Rochefoucauld._ 1180 LOVE. Naught sweeter is than love. Whom that doth bless Regardeth all things less. If thou first taste of love, then shalt thou see Honey shall bitter be! What roses are, they never know, who miss Fair Cytherea's kiss. --_Nossis, Greek._ _Translated by Lilla Cabot Perry._ 1181 How often love is maintained by wealth: When all is spent adversity then breeds The discontent. --_Herrick._ 1182 The moment one is in love one becomes so amiable. 1183 ONE WHO LOVES. I had so fixed my heart upon her, That whereso'er I fram'd a scheme of life For time to come, she was my only joy With which I used to sweeten future cares: I fancy'd pleasures, none but one who loves And doats as I did, can imagine like them. 1184
