... true love is a durable fire,
in the mind ever burning, never sick, never old, never dead, from
itself never turning
Sir Walter
Raleigh
Love makes those young whom age doth chill,
and whom he finds young keeps young still
William Cartwright
Now the rite is duly done, Now the word is
spoken, And the spell has made us one Which may ne'er be broken
Winthrop Mackworth Praid
My fellow, my companion, help most dear, My soul, my other self, my inward
friend.
Mary Sidney Herbert
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my
bone, I here, though there, yet both but Mary Sidney Herbert
Each
shining light above us has its own perticular grace; but every light in
heaven is my darling's face.
John Hay
Those worlds, for
which the conqueror sighs, For me would have no charms: My only world thy
gentle eyes-My throne thy circling arms! Oh yes, so well, so
tenderly Thou'rt loved, adored by me, Whole realms of light and liberty
were worthless without thee Thomas Moore
I
think true love is never blind, but rather brings an added light, an inner
vision quick to find the beauties hid from common sight. No
soul can ever clearly see anothers highest, noblest part; Save through the
sweet philosphy and loving wisdom of the heart.
Phoebe Cary
Love is not
getting, but giving; It is goodness and honor, and peace and pure living Henry Van Dyke
Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the
skies, my love should shine on your like to the sun. And look
upon you with ten thousand eyes Till heaven wax'd blind, and till the
world were done
Joshua Sylvester
How much
do I love thee? Go ask the deep sea. How many rare gems in its coral
caves be; or ask the broad billows. That ceaselessly roar, How many
bright sands do they kiss on the shore Mary Ashley Townsend
I'll love him more, more than eer wife loved
before. Be the days dark or bright
Jean Ingelow
The violet
loves a sunny bank. The cowslip loves the lea, The scarlet creeper
loves the elm. But I love-thee.
The sunshine kisses mount and vale. The stars they kiss the sea, The
west winds kiss the clover bloom, But I kiss-thee.
The oriole weds his mottled mate, The lilys bride o the bee; Heavens
marriage ring is round the earth, -shall I wed thee?
Bayard Taylor
One heart's enough
for me-One heart to love, adore-One heart's enough for me-O. who could
wish for more? The birds that soar above, and sing their songs on high,
Ask but for one to love and therefore should Not I?
One pair of eyes to gaze. One pair of sparkling blue, In which sweet
love betrays Her form of fairest hue; One pair of glowing checks,
Fresh as the rose and fair, Whose crimson blush bespeaks the health that's
native there.
One pair of hands to twine Love's flowers fair and gay. And form a
wreath divine, Which never can decay; And this is all I ask, One gentle
form and fair-Beneath whose smiles to bask And learn love's sweetness
there. Auguste Mignon
Come live with me
and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That hills and
valleys, dales and fields, Woods or craggy mountains yield.
Christopher Marlowe
Our boat to the waves
go free. By the bending tide, where the curled wave breaks.
Like the track of the wind on the white snowflakes; Away, away! 'Tis a
path o'er the sea William Ellery Channing continue
