Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
~ Voltaire.
See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea: -
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley, Love's Philosophy.
The simple lack of her is more to me than others' presence.
~ Edward Thomas.
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
~ John Donne.
