We list further inspiring love poems and amorous quotes from literary greats.
If music be the food of love, play on.Valentine's Day is approaching, so it might be time to brush up on what the great poets, novelists and philosophers of our time had to say on the matter of love and romance.
We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.
Benjamin Disraeli
I love thee—I love thee!
'Tis all that I can say;—
It is my vision in the night,
My dreaming in the day;
The very echo of my heart,
The blessing when I pray:
I love thee—I love thee!
Is all that I can say.
I love thee—I love thee!
Is ever on my tongue;
In all my proudest poesy
That chorus still is sung;
It is the verdict of my eyes,
Amidst the gay and young:
I love thee—I love thee!
A thousand maids among.
I love thee—I love thee!
Thy bright hazel glance,
The mellow lute upon those lips,
Whose tender tones entrance;
But most, dear heart of hearts, thy proofs
That still these words enhance,
I love thee—I love thee!
Whatever be thy chance.
Thomas Hood, I Love Thee
Your voice and music are the same to me.
Charles Dickens
Mature as he was, she might yet be able to help him to the building of the rainbow bridge that should connect the prose in us with the passion. Without it we are meaningless fragments, half monks, half beasts, unconnected arches that have never joined into a man. With it love is born, and alights on the highest curve, glowing against the gray, sober against the fire.
E.M. Forster, Howards End, Ch. 22
At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.
Plato
