ANNABEL LEE
It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee..
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Then to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love..
I and my Annabel Lee
With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me..
Yes ! That was the reason
( As all men know, in this kingdom by the sea )
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
And killing my Annabel Lee
But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we..
Of many far wiser than we.
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea..
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
~ Edgar Allan Poe 1849 ~
Farewell to Love
by Michael Drayton
Since there's not help,
come let us kiss and part;
Nay, I am done,
you get no more of me;
And I am glad,
yea, glad with all my heart,
That thus so cleanly
I myself can free;
Shake hands for ever,
cancel all our vows,
And when we meet
at any time again,
Be it not seen
in either of our brows
That we, one jot
of former love retain.
Now, at the last gasp
of love's latest breath,
When his pulse failing,
passion speechless lies,
When faith is kneeling
by his bed of death,
And innocence
is closing up his eyes,
Now, if thou woulds't,
when all have given him over,
From death to life
Thou might'st him, yet, recover.
e. e. cummings (1894-1962)
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
As selfishness and complaint
pervert and cloud the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the
vision. Helen Keller,
My Religion, 1927.
Love is, above all, the
gift of oneself. Jean Anouilh, Ardele, 1948, (2, translated by Lucienne
Hill).

I have
reviewed the perfect book related to romance. It is
called
The Book of Fabulous Questions. This book contains more than
600
thought
provoking questions on all topics, from family to career, from
religion
to love, from sex to friendship. Some are easy, some complicated,
some
admittedly controversial. These questions will spice up any
conversation.
They can be posed to friends, spouses, casual acquaintances,
lovers,
relatives, just about anyone! They're intended, at the very least,
to
initiate some fun and perhaps lively conversations and they may open up
conversational
territories previously unknown. This book breaks the ice and
guarantees
a great time!
A lot
of research has been done and have found this book to be very useful
for
singles trying to meet new people and it has been very successful.
It is
great
to give people something to talk about and will help lighten the
encounters!
