The Love of Poetry

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. ~John Keats

You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. ~Dr. Seuss

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. ~William Shakespeare

So dear I love him, that with him all deaths I could endure, without him live no life. ~John Milton

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks. ~Natalie Clifford Barney

ell me how many beads there are

In a silver chain

Of evening rain,

Unravelled from the tumbling main,

And threading the eye of a yellow star: -

So many times do I love again.

~Thomas Lovell Beddoes

He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began. ~Leo Tolstoy

When love is not madness, it is not love. ~Pedro Calderon de la Barca

When I am with you, the only place I want to be is closer. ~Author Unknown

...Let the world know, if there was ever love:

Mine for you...

~Peter Winstanley

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough. ~George Moore
