Love poems
Alfred Austin
Love's Trinity
Soul, heart, and body, we thus singly name,
Are not in love divisible and
distinct,
But each with each inseparably link'd.
One is not honour, and
the other shame,
But burn as closely fused as fuel, heat, and flame.
They do not love who give the body and keep
The heart ungiven; nor they
who yield the soul,
And guard the body. Love doth give the whole;
Its
range being high as heaven, as ocean deep,
Wide as the realms of air or
planet's curving sweep.
Citate de dragoste
- 'I love you - those three words have my life in them.'
~ Alexandrea to Nicholas III - 'Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.'
~ Carl Jung - 'I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion - I have shudder'd at it. I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion. Love is my religion.
And I could die for that. I could die for you.'
~ John Keats
