A relationship is like a rose,
How long it lasts, no one knows;
Love can erase an awful past,
Love can be yours, you'll see at last;
To feel that love, it makes you sigh,
To have it leave, you'd rather die;
You hope you've found that special rose,
Cause you love and care for the one you chose.
A smile is nearly always inspired by another smile.
a song isn't a song until you sing it
a bell isn't a bell until you ring it
love in your heart isn't put there to say
love isn't love until you give it away.
A thing of beauty is joy forever.
A true man does not need to romance a different girl every night, a true man romances the same girl for the rest of her life.
A woman is always a mystery:
one must not be fooled by her
face and her hearts inspiration.
Absence is to love what wind is to fire;
it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great.
("Histoire amoureuse des Gaules")
Absence makes the heart grow stronger.
Absence sharpens love, but presence strengthens it.
Ah! when will this long weary day have end,
And lend me leave to come unto my love?
Aid my disillusionment, my friend!
Alas! the love of women! it is known
To be a lovely and fearful thing!
All energy is the sum of free will plus love.
All mankind love a lover.
All the little emptiness of love.
All thoughts, all passions, all delights
Whatever stirs this mortal frame
All are but ministers of Love
And feed his sacred flame.
All you need is love.
Amo, amas, I love a lass,
As a cedar tall and slender;
Sweet cowslip's grace
Is her nominative case,
And she's of the feminine gender.
And I would hear yet once before I perish
The voice which was my music--Speak to me!
And the trouble is if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
Anyone can look at others eyes, but Lovers can see into each others' souls through the eyes.
Arguements out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable.
As perfume doth remain
In the folds where it hath lain,
So the thought of you, remaining
Deeply folded in my brain,
Will not leave me: all things leave me:
You remain.
As selfishness and complaint
pervert and cloud the mind, so love
with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
As the ocean is never full of water, so is the heart never full of love.
At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone.
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
Be of love (a little) more careful than of anything.
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Beauty provokes thieves sooner than gold.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Beloved, all that is harsh and difficult I want for myself,
and all that is gentle and sweet for thee.
But Love has pitched his mansion in
The place of excrement.
For nothing can be sole or whole
That has not been rent.
By her shining and her power he knew her.
("Fire from Heaven")
UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE
By the time you swear you are his shivering and sighing,
And vows his passion is infinite and undying-
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,
With silken lines, and silver hooks.
("The Bait")
Come with me, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.
("The Passionate Sphepherd to his Love")
Come, let us make love deathless, thou and I.
Devil, don't you know
you are as beautiful as an Angel?
Didn't you know that people hide love like a flower
too precious to be picked?
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend forever.
Doubt that the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
("Hamlet")
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
Each morning as I awaken your the reason I smile, Your the reason I love.
Economized love is never real love.
Everything that decieves also enchants.
Eyes of most unholy blue!
First love is dangerous only when it is also the l
last.
First, to be able to love, then to
learn that body and spirit are one.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
("Four Quartets")
For one human being to love another;
that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks;
the ultimate, the last test and proof;
the work for which all other work is but preparation.
For those who love... time is eternity...
For those who loved should always feel that their love given,
was love well taken.
For what is love itself, for the one we love best?--an enfolding of
immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love.
For you see, each day I love you more,
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
Fresh spring the
herald of love's mighty king.
Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight is said to be the only truth.
Friendship is inexplicable,
it should not be explained if one doesn't want to kill it.
Gather therefore the rose, whilst yet is prime.
For soon comes age, that will her pride deflower.
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more:
A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million.
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.
Glorious the comet's trail. . .
("A Song to David")
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
("Patient Grissill")
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.
Hail, Holy light, offspring of Heaven. . .
("Paradise Lost")
Harmony is pure love, for love is a concerto.
he who cries the loudest shows the most pain
he who keeps it all inside dies in vain
(from 'when a thought becomes u')
Her angel's face,
As the great eye of heaven shined bright,
And made a sunshine in the shady place.
Her court was pure, her life serence;
God gave her peace; her land reposed;
A thousand claims to reverence closed. . .
("To the Queen")
Hours fly
Flowers die
New days
New ways
Pass by
Love stays
How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?
How we feel is how we want to be heard.
