Famous quotes containing the words lust and/or melancholy:

    When I heard the Earth-song,
    I was no longer brave;
    My avarice cooled
    Like lust in the chill of the grave.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Among the earliest institutions to be invented, if I read the stars right, is a Protestant monastery, a place of elegant seclusion where melancholy gentlemen and ladies may go to spend the advanced session of life in drinking milk, walking the woods & reading the Bible and the poets.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
