Since time immemorial, writers and poets have tried to capture the essence of love in words. Poems are always a source of joy for those who are in love. Reading beautiful quotes and poetry verses often makes us wonder, how can someone describe our feelings and emotions, with such ease and precision? When it comes to love, what better option than the verses written by Shakespeare, to describe this beautiful feeling?
“Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.”
“I’ll follow you and make a heaven out of hell, and I’ll die by your hand, which I love so well.”
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
“Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made
For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”
“So dear I love him that with him, all deaths I could endure. Without him, live no life.”
“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.”
“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.”
“Ay me! for aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth;
But either it was different in blood…”
“No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy.”
“Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.”
“Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?”
