Bitter Heart

Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or heart:

    Some violent bitter man, some powerful man
    Called architect and artist in, that they,
    Bitter and violent men, might rear in stone
    The sweetness that all longed for night and day,
    The gentleness none there had ever known....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
    My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
    And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
    Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.
    Whereso’er I am,—below, or else above you—
    Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.
    Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)
