poems on friendship #1
Love, in distinction from friendship,
Is killed, or rather extinguished,
The moment it is displayed in public

I will speak ill of no man,
and speak all the good I know of everybody.

poems on friendship #3
The most I can do for my friend
is simply to be his friend.
I have no wealth to bestow on him.
If he knows that I am happy in loving him,
he will want no other reward.
Is not friendship divine in this?

poems on friendship #4
Thus nature has no love for solitude,
and always leans,
as it were,
on some support;
and the sweetest support is found
in the most intimate friendship.
