Loveliness Quotes - page 5

What a torment it is to see so much loveliness passing and repassing before us, and yet not dare to lay hold of it! (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
I love justice, not for its consequences for bodily gain, but for itself, for the moral truth and loveliness thereof. View quote
Theodore Parker
Beauty is an omnipresence of death and loveliness, a smiling sadness that we discern in nature and all things, a mystic communion that the poet feels. View quote
Charlie Chaplin
What is lovely never dies, But passes into other loveliness. View quote
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
For Loveliness Needs not the foreign aid of ornament, But is, when unadorned, adorned the most. View quote
Ludovico Ariosto
And where is now that palace gone, All the magical skill'd stone, All the dreaming towers wrought By Love as if no more than thought The unresisting marble was? How could such a wonder pass? Ah, it was but built in vain Against the stupid horns of Rome, That pusht down into the common loam The loveliness that shone in Spain. But we have raised it up again! A loftier palace, fairer far, Is ours, and one that fears no war. Safe in marvellous walls we are; Wondering sense like builded fires, High amazement of desires, Delight and certainty of love, Closing around, roofing above Our unapproacht and perfect hour Within the splendours of love's power.

Lascelles Abercrombie
To keep in sight Perfection, and adore The vision, is the artist's best delight; His bitterest pang, that he can ne'er do more Than keep her long'd-for loveliness in sight. View quote
William Watson (poet)
