Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

One who possesses such immense power over our existence will inspire awe that easily threatens to overwhelm us, even if we believe he will never abandon or destroy us.... Its grandeur makes us feel both powerful and powerless--not just to possess the loved one--but in our existence itself: the existence which we yearn for love to anchor. To be in a relationship of love is, in other words, always a relationship of fear; indeed, the greater the love the greater the fear.

SIMON MAY

Love: A History


Oh, ill betide that villain love, not love,
That all its object and affection finds
In the mere contact of encircling arms!

PEDRO CALDERON DE LA BARCA

The Painter of His Own Dishonour


Of all earthly music, that which reaches the farthest into heaven is the beating of a loving heart.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit


O, high the happy bosom heaves
When love is in the dancer!

WITTER BYNNER

"Three Poplars"


O little hour of Love, so wild and sweet!
I gave the world, thy honey-dew to eat;
And now the tear-sown pathway of the dead
Echoes the patter of thy flying feet.

None but those who have loved can be supposed to understand the oratory of the eye, the mute eloquence of a look, or the conversational powers of the face. Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric of words, and resorts to the pantomime of sighs and glances.

CHRISTIAN NESTELL BOVEE

Intuitions and Summaries of Thought


No man knoweth how another man maketh his love, for women tell not.

GELETT BURGESS

The Maxims of Methuselah


No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.
