Amy Levy

  • “... they acted and reacted on one another, deceiving and deceived, with that strange, unconscious hypocrisy of lovers.”

  • “A lover may be a shadowy creature, but husbands are made of flesh and blood.”

  • “There will be strange ebbs and flows in the tide of race feelings.”

  • “I lean against the birch-tree, / My arms around it twine, / It pulses, and leaps, and quivers, / Like a human heart to mine.”
