Collected Poems by A.E. Quotes

“Our hearts are drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see.”
― George William Russell, Collected Poems by A.E.

“Not the soul that’s whitest
Wakens love the sweetest:
When the heart is lightest
Oft the charm is fleetest.

While the snow-frail maiden, 5
Waits the time of learning,
To the passion laden
Turn with eager yearning.

While the heart is burning
Heaven with earth is banded: 10
To the stars returning
Go not empty-handed.

Ah, the snow-frail maiden!
Somehow truth has missed her,
Left the heart unladen 15
For its burdened sister.”
― ae, Collected poems,
