. . . You know that nothing can ever change what we have always been and always will be to each other. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
You are something to me between dream and miracle. – Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“Jenny Kiss’d Me”
Jenny kiss’d me when we met
Jumping fro the chair she sat in:
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
Say that health and wealth have miss’d me
Say I’m growing old, but add,
Jenny Kiss’d Me.
- Leigh Hunt
“CXVI”
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
While alters when it alterations 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
