“Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing
How love that passes is enough.

Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead, and how
In the grave all love shall sleep:
Love is aweary now.”

Garden Rose
Imagine Our Love (2007)
Context: I'll never stop a bullet but a bullet might stop me.
I'll never drink the ocean but the ocean might drink me.
And I'll never raise a portrait to a gentle man in blue
And I'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true. I love how the garden grows
And I love the garden rose.

Ood Sigma, to the Tenth incarnation of the Doctor, in The End of Time [4.18] (1 January 2010) <!-- written with Steven Moffat though only the final scene, and not this one. -->

A misquotation http://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/ads-l/2009-August/092648.html of:<br><br>Πάντων μὲν κόρος ἐστὶ καὶ ὕπνου καὶ φιλότητος<br>μολπῆς τε γλυκερῆς καὶ ἀμύμονος ὀρχηθμοῖο,<br>τῶν πέρ τις καὶ μᾶλλον ἐέλδεται ἐξ ἔρον εἷναι<br>ἢ πολέμου· Τρῶες δὲ μάχης ἀκόρητοι ἔασιν.<br><br>Men get<br>Their fill of all things, of sleep and love, sweet song<br>And flawless dancing, and most men like these things<br>Much better than war. Only Trojans are always<br>Thirsty for blood!<br><br>Iliad, XIII, 636–639 (tr. Ennis Rees)<br><br>The misquotation implies that an overweening love of war was the norm, whereas the real quote decries the Trojans as inhumane for keeping the war going. <br class="br">Misattributed
