Edmund Waller Quotes About Life

• Consent in virtue knit your hearts so fast,
  That still the knot, in spite of death, does last;
  For as your tears, and sorrow-wounded soul,
  Prove well that on your part this bond is whole,
  So all we know of what they do above,
  Is that they happy are, and that they love.
  Let dark oblivion, and the hollow grave,
  Content themselves our frailer thoughts to have;
  Well-chosen love is never taught to die,
  But with our nobler part invades the sky.
