Pulses Quotes

A counted number of pulses only is given to us of a variegated, dramatic life. How may we see in them all that is to to be seen in them by the finest senses?
Walter Pater

Life, May, Seen

When Keats says: 'Axioms in philosophy are not axioms until they are proved upon our pulses', what he means is that we don't necessarily believe what a poem is saying if it comes out and tells us in an absolutely head-on, in-your-face way; we only believe it to be true if we feel it to be true.
Andrew Motion

True, Saying, Philosophy

The true color of life is the color of the body, the color of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest color of the unpublished blood.
Alice Meynell

Life, Heart, True

But great loves, to the last, have pulses red; All great loves that have ever died dropped dead.
Helen Hunt Jackson

Great, Dead, Last

Great loves, to the last, have pulses red; All great loves that have ever died dropped dead.
Helen Hunt Jackson

Great, Dead, Last

The true colour of life is the colour of the body, the colour of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest colour of the unpublished blood.
