Here is my Favourite pick of the Sweet Love Poems in this section (first line):
"I
was betrothed that day"
|
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet let me go,
What do you mean, to vex me so,
Cease, cease, cease your pleading force,
Now, now, now no more, Alas you overbear me,
And I would cry, but some would hear, I fear me.
Anon
Room after room,
I hunt the house through
We inhabit together.
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her,
Next time, herself! – not the trouble behind her
Left in the curtain, the couch’ perfume!
As she brushed it, the cornice-wresth blossomed anew:
You looking-glass gleamed at the wave of her feather.
Yet the day wears,
And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune –
Range the wide house from the wings to the centre.
Still the same chance! She goes one as I enter.
Spend my whole day in the quest – who cares?
But ‘tis twilight, you see, - with such suites to explore,
Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!
Love in a Life - Robert Browning 1812 – 1889
Letter from
Zelda Sayre to F. Scott Fitzgerald Spring 1919
Sweetheart, Please, please don't be so depressed - We'll be married soon, and
then these lonesome nights will be over forever and until we are, I am loving,
loving every tiny minute of the day and night. Maybe you won't understand this,
but sometimes when I miss you most, it's hardest to write and you always know
when I make myself - Just the ache of it all and I can't tell you. If we were
together, you'd feel how strong it is - you're so sweet when you're melancholy.
I love your sad tenderness when I've hurt you. That's one of the reasons I could
never be sorry for our quarrels and they bothered you so. Those dear, dear
little fusses, when I always tried so hard to make you kiss and forget. Scott,
there's nothing in all the world I want but you and your precious love. All the
materials things are nothing. I'd just hate to live a sordid, colorless
existence-because you'd soon love me less and less and I'd do anything, anything
to keep your heart for my own. I don't want to live - I want to love first, and
live incidentally...Don't, don't ever think of the things you can't give me.
You've trusted me with the dearest heart of all and it's so damn much more than
anybody else in all the world has ever had. How can you think deliberately of
life without me. If you should die - O Darling - darling Scott. It'd be like
going blind...I'd have no purpose in life, just a pretty decoration. Don't you
think I was made for you? I feel like you had me ordered and I was delivered to
you to be worn. I want you to wear me, like a watch-charm or a button hole
bouquet- to the world. And then, when we're alone, I want to help to know that
you can't do anything without me... All my heart - I love you.
My lady looks so gentle and so
pure
When yielding salutation by the way,
That the tongue trembles and has naught to say,
And the eyes, which fain would see, may not endure.
And still, amid the praise she hears secure
She walks with humbleness for her array;
Seeming a creature sent from Heaven to stay
On earth, and show a miracle made sure.
She is so pleasant in the eyes of men
That through the sight the inmost heart doth gain
A sweetness which needs proof to know it by:
And from between her lips there seems to move
A soothing essence that is full of love,
Saying for ever to the spirit, "Sigh!"
My Lady Looks So Gentle And So Pure - Dante Alighieri -
1265-1321
My sweetest Lesbia, let us live
and love,
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them. Heaven's great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive.
But, soon as once set our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.
If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum or trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from the camp of Love:
But fools do live and waste their little light,
And seek with pain their ever-during night.
When timely death my life and fortune ends,
Let not my hearse be vext with mourning friends,
But let all lovers rich in triumph come
And with sweet pastimes grace my happy tomb:
And, Lesbia, close up thou my little light,
And crown with love my ever-during night.
My Sweetest Lesbia - Caius Valerius Catullus - 87-57 B.C.
