Brooke

Famous quotes containing the word brooke:

    The comfortable smell of friendly fingers,
    Hair’s fragrance, and the musty reek that lingers
    About dead leaves and last year’s ferns. . . .
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    Sleep; and high places; footprints in the dew;
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    And I shall find some girl perhaps,
    And a better one than you,
    With eyes as wise, but kindlier,
    And lips as soft, but true,
    And I daresay she will do.
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
