How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee
to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach,
when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and
ideal Grace, I love thee to the level of everyday's Most
quiet need, by sun and candle light. I love thee freely,
as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they
turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to
use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I
love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost
saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of
all my life!-and, if God choose, I shall but love thee
better after death.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning -
Your words are my food, your breath is my wine You are
everything to me.
- Sarah Bernhardt -
As we grow older together, As we continue to change with
age, There is one thing that will never change... I will
always keep falling in love with you.
- Karen Clodfelder -
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit
impediments. Love is not love which alters when it
alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests
and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering
bark, whose worth's unknown, although his height be
taken.
Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
within his bending sickle's compass come: love alters
not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out
even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor
no man ever loved.
- William Shakespeare -
Alas, I thought I knew so much Of love, and yet I know
so little! For I cannot stop myself loving her From whom
I shall never have joy. My whole heart, and all of me
from myself She has taken, and her own self, and all the
world, For when she took herself from me, she left me
nothing But desire and a yearning heart.
- Bernard de Ventadour -
[Infinite Love] is a weapon of matchless potency. It is
the "summum bonum" of Life. It is an attribute of the
brave, in fact it is their all. It does not come within
the reach of the coward. It is no wooden or lifeless
dogma but a living and life-giving force. It is the
special attribute of the heart.
- Mahatma Gandhi -
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it
because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it
because without it we become weak and faint. Without
love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage
fails. Without love we can no longer look confidently at
the world. We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own
personalities, and little by little we destroy it
ourselves. With it we are creative. With it we march
tirelessly. With it and with it alone, we are able to
sacrifice for others.
- Chief Dan George -
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of
impossibility...It is therefore able to undertake all
things, and it completes many things, and warrants them
to take effect, where he who does not love would faint
and lie down. Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth
not. Though weary, it is not tired; though pressed, it
is not straitened; though alarmed, it is not
confounded...
- Thomas A. Kempis -
Sonnet 55
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall
outlive this powerful rhyme; but you shall shine more
bright in these contents Than unswept stone, besmeared
with sluttish time. When wasteful war shall statues
overturn, And broils root out the work of masonry, Nor
Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn The
living record of your memory. 'Gainst death and
all-oblivious enmity Shall you pace forth; your praise
shall still find room Even if the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom. So, till
the judgment that yourself arise, You live in this, and
dwell in lovers' eyes.
- William Shakespeare -
A Red, Red Rose
O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in
June; O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd
in tune! As fair thou art, my bonnie lass, So deep in
love am I: And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a'
the seas gang dry: Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun; i will luve thee still
my dear When the sands of life shall run. And fare thee
weel, my only Luve, And fare thee weel a while! And I
will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand
mile.
- Robert Burns -
Life in a Love
Escape me? Never-- Beloved! While I am I, and you are
you, So long as the world contains us both, Me the
loving and you the loth, While the one eludes, must the
other pursue. My life is a fault at least, I fear: It
seems too much like a fate, indeed! Though I do my best
I shall scarce succeed. But what if I fail of my purpose
here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, To dry
one's eyes and laugh at a fall, And, baffled, get up and
begin again, -- So the chase takes up one's life, that's
all. While, look but once from your farthest bound At me
so deep in the dust and dark, No sooner the old hope
goes to ground Than a new one, straight to the self-same
mark, I shape me-- Ever Removed!
- Robert Browning -
Take, O take those lips away, That so sweetly were
forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that
do mislead the morn: But my kisses bring again, bring
again, Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in
vain.
- William Shakespeare -
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am
when I am with you.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning -
