The Nightingale And The Rose

  • daryahas quoted3 years ago
    Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb.
  • daryahas quoted3 years ago
    Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?
  • daryahas quoted3 years ago
    what is joy to me, to him is pain.
  • Éber Martínezhas quoted5 years ago
    Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold."

  • chandanahas quoted3 years ago
    Bitter, bitter was the pain, and wilder and wilder grew her song, for she sang of the Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb

    The white Moon heard it, and she forgot the dawn, and lingered on in the sky. The red rose heard it, and it trembled all over with ecstasy, and opened its petals to the cold morning air.
  • chandanahas quoted3 years ago
    "Death is a great price to pay for a red rose," cried the Nightingale, "and Life is very dear to all. It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?"
