Quotes from George Darley

Awake thee, my Lady-Love! Wake thee, and rise! The sun through the bower peeps Into thine eyes.
~ George Darley
Give me, instead of beauty's bust, A tender heart, a loyal mind, Which with temptation I could trust, Yet never linked with error find.
~ George Darley
Now to form the complete poet, neither heart only, nor head only, is sufficient: the complete poet must have a heart in his brain, or a brain in his heart. Such was Shakspeare, complete because he had both, and supreme because he had both to the highest degree.
~ George Darley
