....For All of the Courage That You Never Had
I'm Just About Glad
| From the song JUST ABOUT GLAD by
ELVIS COSTELLO
|
Yesterday, I stood at the temple door interrogating the passersby about the mystery and merit of Love.
And before me passed an old man with an emaciated and melancholy face, who sighed and said: 'Love is a natural weakness bestowed upon us by the first man.'
But a virile youth retorted:' Love joins our present with the past and the future.'
Then a woman with a tragic face sighed and said.' Love is a deadly poison injected by black vipers, that crawl from the caves of hell. The poison seems fresh as dew and the thirsty soul eagerly drinks it; but after the first intoxication, the drinker sickens and dies a slow death.'
Then a beautiful, rosy cheeked damsel smilingly said:' love is wine served by the brides of Dawn which strengthens strong souls and enables them to ascend to the stars.'
After her a blackrobed, bearded man, frowning, said:' Love is the blind ignorance with which youth begins and ends'.
Another, smiling, declared:'Love is a divine knowledge that enables men to see as much as the Gods.'
Then said a blind man, feeling his way with a cane:' Love is a blinding mist that keeps the soul from discerning the secret of existence, so that the heart sees only trembling phantoms of desire among the hills, and hears only echoes of cries from voiceless valleys.'
And a feeble ancient, dragging his feet like two rags, said, in quavering tones:' Love is the rest of the body in the quiet of the grave, the tranquility of the soul in the depth of Eternity'.
And a five-year-old child, after him, said laughing:' Love is my father and mother, and no one knows love save my father and mother.'
And so, all passed spoke of Love as the image of their hopes and frustrations, leaving it a mystery just as before.

The greatest pain that comes from love,
Is loving someone you can never have
| UNKNOWN AUTHOR
|
Never did I believe there could be
Such utter happiness in this world,
Such a feeling of unity
Between two mortal beings.
I love you- those three words have my life in them.
| LOVE LETTER FROM ALEXANDREA TO NICHOLAS III
|
What I'd give to run my fingers
through your hair,
Touch your lips, to hold you near,
When you say your prayers,
Try to understand,
I've made mistakes,
I'm just a man...
| From the song ALWAYS by
BON JOVI
|
Knowing Love,
I will allow all things to come and go,
To be as supple as the wind,
And take everything that comes with great courage...
My heart is as open as the sky
| From the movie KAMA SUTRA
|
I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be . . . if you'll be my baby.
