Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is—­Love, forgive us! cinders, ashes, dust. 1130 KEATS:  Lamia, Pt. ii., Line 1.

Why did she love him?  Curious fool! be still; Is human love the growth of human will? 1131 BYRON:  Lara, Canto ii., St. 22.

There is no pleasure like the pain
Of being loved, and loving.
1132
PRAED:  Legend of the Haunted Tree.

Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart,
’T is woman’s whole existence.
1133
BYRON:  Don Juan, Canto i., St. 194.

In peace, Love tunes the shepherd’s reed;
In war, he mounts the warrior’s steed;
In halls, in gay attire is seen;
In hamlets, dances on the green;
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
1134
SCOTT:  Lay of the Last Minstrel, Canto iii., St. 2.

True love is at home on a carpet,
And mightily likes his ease,—­
And true love has an eye for a dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees. 
His wing is the fan of a lady,
His foot’s an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipp’d with a jewel,
And shot from a silver string.
1135
WILLIS:  Love in a Cottage.

What is love? ’t is nature’s treasure,
’T is the storehouse of her joys;
’T is the highest heaven of pleasure,
’T is a bliss which never cloys.
1136
THOMAS CHATTERTON:  The Revenge, Act i., Sc. 2.

=Luxury.=

O Luxury! thou curs’d by heaven’s decree,
How ill-exchang’d are things like these for thee! 
How do thy potions, with insidious joy,
Diffuse their pleasures only to destroy!
1137
GOLDSMITH:  Des.  Village, Line 395.

Blest hour! it was a luxury—­to be! 1138 COLERIDGE:  Reflections on Having Left a Place of Retirement.

=Madness.=

I am not mad;—­I would to heaven I were!  For then, ’t is like I should forget myself; O, if I could,—­what grief should I forget! 1139 SHAKS.:  King John, Act iii., Sc. 4.

Madness in great ones must not unwatch’d go. 1140 SHAKS.:  Hamlet, Act iii., Sc. 1.

And moody madness laughing wild
Amid severest woe.
1141
GRAY:  On a Distant Prospect of Eton College.

=Man.=

O, what may man within him hide,
Though angel on the outward side!
1142
SHAKS.:  M. for M., Act iii., Sc. 2.

He was a man, take him for all in all,
I shall not look upon his like again.
1143
SHAKS.:  Hamlet, Act i., Sc. 2.

His life was gentle; and the elements So mix’d in him, that Nature might stand up, And say to all the world, “This was a man!” 1144 SHAKS.:  Jul.  Caesar, Act v., Sc. 5.

Man is one world, and hath. 
Another to attend him.
1145
HERBERT:  The Temple. Man.
