Slightly colorful and random views on the world around us...
“PASSIONS are liken’d best to floods and streams:
The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb;
So, when affection yields discourse, it seems
The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
They that are rich in words, in words discover
That they are poor in that which makes a lover.” – Sir Walter Raleigh
“Now the rite is duly done,
Now the word is spoken,
And the spell has made us one
Which may ne’er be broken.” – Winthrop Mackworth Praed
“The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance…
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.” – from the poem “In and Out of Time” by Maya Angelou
“For who is there that lives and knows
The secret powers by which he grows?
Were knowledge all, what were our need
To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?
Then seek not, sweet, the “If” and “Why”
I love you now until I die.
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give.” – from “Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her” by Christopher Brennan
“Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I’ll not look for wine.” – from “Song to Celia” by Ben Jonson
