Alas by some degree of woe,
We every bliss must gain;
The heart can never a transport know,
That never feels a pain. [ Lord Lyttleton ]

Now from the world,
Sacred to sweet retirement, lovers steal,
And pour their souls in transport. [ Thomson ]

Oh! the pain of pains
Is when the fair one, whom our soul is fond of,
Gives transport, and receives it from another. [ Young ]

Nothing which does not transport is poetry. The lyre is a winged instrument. [ Joubert ]

On such a theme it were impious to be calm; passion is reason, transport, temper, here! [ Young ]

O, the eye's light is a noble gift of heaven! All beings live from light; each fair created thing. The very plants turn with a joyful transport to the light. [ Schiller ]

It is delightful to transport one's self into the spirit of the past, to see how a wise man has thought before us, and to what a glorious height we have at last reached. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

A woman whose great beauty eclipses all others is seen with as many different eyes as there are people who look at her. Pretty women gaze with envy, homely women with spite, old men with regret, young men with transport. [ D'Argens ]

Often a nosegay of wild flowers, which was to us, as village children, a grove of pleasure, has in after years of manhood, and in the town, given us by its old perfume, an indescribable transport back into godlike childhood; and how, like a flower goddess, it has raised us into the first embracing Aurora clouds of our first dim feelings! [ Richter ]

Who is there who has not experienced that often a nosegay of wild flowers, which was to us as village children a grove of pleasure, has in after years of manhood, and in the town, given us. by its old perfume an indescribable transport back into godlike childhood; and how, like a flower-goddess, it has raised us into the first embracing Aurora-clouds of our first dim feelings? [ Richter ]
