Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“Not a flower, not a flower sweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

For things like these what decent man
Would keep his lover waiting?
Keep his lover waiting?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
