Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher
Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter,
So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly
Singing about her head, as she rode by.
- Sad Love Poem
by Robert Graves
One smile relieves a heart that grieves
though deadly sad it be, and one hard look
Can close the book that lovers love to see.
- Quote by Robert Graves
