Mary Ashley Townsend Quotes

• How much do I love thee? Go ask the deep sea How many rare gems In its coral caves be; Or ask the broad billows, That ceaselessly roar, How many bright sands Do they kiss on the shore?

• I believe if I should die,
  And you should kiss my eyelids where I lie
  Cold, dead, and dumb to all the world contains,
  The folded orbs would open at thy breath,
  And from its exile in the Isles of Death
  Life would come gladly back along my veins.
