Quotes by Francis William Bourdillon

“So, often in the courseOf lifes few fleeting years,A single pleasure costsThe soul a thousand tears.”

“The mind has a thousand eyes. And the heart but one; Yet the life of a whole life dies When love is done.”

“The night has a thousand eyes,And the day but one;Yet the light of the bright world dies,With the dying sun.”

The night has a thousand eyes,And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one: Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done.

The night has a thousand eyesAnd the day but oneYet the light of the bright world dies with the dying sun.

The Night has a thousand eyes The Day but one Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun.
