"Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be
The last of life for which the first was made;
Our times are in His hand
Who saith, 'A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half, trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"
--Robert Browning, "Rabbi Ben Ezra" |

Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become a sounding brass or a clanging symbol. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have faith so that I cuold remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing...Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will fail, whre there are tongues, they will cease; where there is knowledge, it will vanish away...Now I know in part, but then shall I know fully, even as I am fully known. And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

"Then Almitra spoke again and said, And what of marriage, Master? And he answered saying: You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days, Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God."
--Kahlil Gibran
"Heart, are you strong enough
For a love that never tires?
O heart, are you great enough for love?
I have a heart of thorns and briers.
Over the thorns and briers,
Over the meadows and stiles,
Over the world to the end of it
Flash for a million miles."
--Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"Were I to promise love in a hundred thousand languages, love's beauty far surpasses all such stammerings."

"But true love is a durable fire
In the mind ever burning
Never sick, never old, never dead
From itself never turning."
--Walter Raleigh
"In so far as love is union
It knows no extremes of distance."
