Love poems
William Cowper
To a Young Lady
Sweet stream that winds through yonder glade,
Apt emblem of a virtuous
maid-
Silent and chaste she steals along,
Far from the world's gay busy
throng:
With gentle yet prevailing force,
Intent upon her destined
course;
Graceful and useful all she does,
Blessing and blest where'er
she goes;
Pure-bosom'd as that watery glass,
And Heaven reflected in her
face.
Citate de dragoste
- 'The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.'
~ Elie Wiesel - '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 - 'Work and love—these are the basics. Without them there is neurosis.'
~ Theodor Reik
