Heart Asks Pleasure

Famous quotes containing the words heart, asks and/or pleasure:

    When the sheep are in the fauld, and the kye at hame,

    While my gudeman lies sound by me.

    Young Jamie lo’ed me weel, and sought me for his bride;
    Lady Anne Lindsay (1750–1825)

    At thirty years a woman asks her lover to give her back the esteem she has forfeited for his sake; she lives only for him, her thoughts are full of his future, he must have a great career, she bids him make it glorious; she can obey, entreat, command, humble herself, or rise in pride; times without number she brings comfort when a young girl can only make moan.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    in the pleasure of that communion

    I lose track,
    the moon I watch goes down, the

    tide swings you away before
    I know I’m
    alone again long since,
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
