ETEXT editor’s bookmarks for the entire bride of the Nile:
A knot can often be
untied by daylight
Abandon to the young
the things we ourselves used most to enjoy
Ancient custom, to have
her ears cut off
Caught the infection
and had to laugh whether she would or no
Gave them a claim on
your person and also on your sorrows
Hatred and love are
the opposite ends of the same rod
He was made to be plundered
How could they find
so much pleasure in such folly
In whom some good quality
or other may not be discovered
Life is not a banquet
Life is a function,
a ministry, a duty
Love has two faces:
tender devotion and bitter aversion
Of two evils it is wise
to choose the lesser
Old age no longer forgets;
it is youth that has a short memory
Prepared for the worst;
then you are armed against failure
Sea-port was connected
with Medina by a pigeon-post
Self-interest and egoism
which drive him into the cave
So hard is it to forego
the right of hating
Spoilt to begin with
by their mothers, and then all the women
Talk of the wolf and
you see his tail
Temples of the old gods
were used as quarries
The man who avoids his
kind and lives in solitude
Thin-skinned, like all
up-starts in authority
Those who will not listen
must feel
Use their physical helplessness
as a defence
Who can hope to win
love that gives none
Who can take pleasure
in always seeing a gloomy face?
Women are indeed the
rock ahead in this young fellow’s life
You have a habit of
only looking backwards
