Dear love, I would
You could look upon me ever, for your eyes
Are polished mirrors, and when I peer
Into those mirrors I can see myself,
And so I know my image lives in you.
Mitski, Last Words Of a Shooting Star:
You'd learned from movies how love ought to be
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes
But I know through mine you were
Looking in yours

Ascanio
What, shall we never more
Sit hand in hand, as we were wont to sit,
Over some book of ancient chivalry
Stealing a truant holiday from school,
Follow the huntsmen through the autumn woods,
And watch the falcons burst their tasselled jesses,
When the hare breaks from covert.
Guido
Never more.
Ascanio
Must I go hence without a word of love?
Guido
You must go hence, and may love go with you.

can it be
There is some immortality in sin,
Which virtue has not? And does the wicked man
Draw life from what to other men were death,
.
The world’s a graveyard, and we each, like coffins,
Within us bear a skeleton.
..
I see when men love women
They give them but a little of their lives,
But women when they love give everything;
..
We are each our own devil, and we make
This world our hell.

If you would have the lion’s share of life
You must wear the fox’s skin.
..
Conscience is but the name which cowardice
Fleeing from battle scrawls upon its shield.
..
What is that word reform? What does it mean?
.
it means leaving things as they are;
..
I know it is the general lot of women,
Each miserably mated to some man
Wrecks her own life upon his selfishness:
That it is general makes it not less bitter.

in this dull stupid age of ours,
The most eccentric thing a man can do
Is to have brains,
.
popularity
Is the one insult I have never suffered.
..
act on the second thought,
First impulses are generally good.
..
See thou hast enemies,
Else will the world think very little of thee;
It is its test of power; yet see thou show’st
A smiling mask of friendship to all men,
Until thou hast them safely in thy grip,
