Amy Lowell Quotes (113 Quotes)


    All books are either dreams or swords, you can cut, or you can drug, with words.

    Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

    Happiness We rarely feel it. I would buy it, beg it, steal it, Pay in coins of dripping blood For this one transcendent good.

    The life that was his choosing,
    lonely, urgent,
    goaded by a hope, all gone.



    Soft she turned
    And felt his breath upon her hair, and prayed Her
    happiness was earned.



    I ask but one thing of you, only one, That always you will be my dream of you That never shall I wake to find untrue All this I have believed and rested on, Forever vanished, like a vision gone Out into the night. Alas, how few There are who strike in us a chord we knew Existed, but so seldom heard its tone We tremble at the half-forgotten sound. The world is full of rude awakenings And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground, Yet still our human longing vainly clings To a belief in beauty through all wrongs. O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs.



    Far
    Within I kneel before you, speechless yet,
    And life ablaze with beauty, I am dumb.
