Favorite Love excerpts by famous figures
This thread is inspired by a scene from the "Sex and the City" Movie. Where Carrie talks about her favorite love letters ever written.
Share your favorite love excerpt by a famous author, poet, etc... One of my favorites is Ludwig van Beethoven writing to his Immortal Beloved. Be calm, only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge me the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine Ever mine Ever ours [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3pOXFvAI-s"]YouTube- Sex and the City-Love Letters of great men-Beethoven[/ame] |

The entire scene works fine for Me...
But, since Im not gonna put the whole thing... Mebbe this one part... ROMEO Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-- JULIET O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable. ROMEO What shall I swear by? JULIET Do not swear at all; Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, Which is the god of my idolatry, And I'll believe thee. ROMEO If my heart's dear love-- JULIET Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract to-night: It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be Ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night! as sweet repose and rest Come to thy heart as that within my breast! ROMEO O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied? JULIET What satisfaction canst thou have to-night? ROMEO The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine. JULIET I gave thee mine before thou didst request it: And yet I would it were to give again.

I love all the Sonnets but this one makes me warmer than others!
Sonnet 57
Being your slave, what should I do but tend Upon the hours and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all spend, Nor services to do till you require. Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you, Nor think the bitterness of your absence sour When you have bid your servant once adieu. Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Where you may be, or your affairs suppose, But, like a sad slave, stay and think of naught Save where you are how happy you make those. So true a fool is love that in your will, Though you do nothing he thinks no ill. William Shakespeare |

Pablo Neruda
Soneto LXVI
No te quiero sino porque te quiero y de quererte a no quererte llego y de esperarte cuando no te espero pasa mi corazón del frío al fuego. Te quiero sólo porque a ti te quiero, te odio sin fin, y odiándote te ruego, y la medida de mi amor viajero es no verte y amarte como un ciego. Tal vez consumirá la luz de Enero, su rayo cruel, mi corazón entero, robándome la llave del sosiego. En esta historia sólo yo me muero y moriré de amor porque te quiero, porque te quiero, amor, a sangre y fuego. I do not love you except because I love you; I go from loving to not loving you, From waiting to not waiting for you My heart moves from cold to fire. I love you only because it's you the one I love; I hate you deeply, and hating you Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you Is that I do not see you but love you blindly. Maybe January light will consume My heart with its cruel Ray, stealing my key to true calm. In this part of the story I am the one who Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you, Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

Emily Dickinson
Part Three: Love XXV WILD nights! Wild nights! Were I with thee, Wild nights should be Our luxury! Futile the winds 5 To a heart in port,— Done with the compass, Done with the chart. Rowing in Eden! Ah! the sea! 10 Might I but moor To-night in thee! |

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
