Your love has opened every door. Now, I can soar! Leslie Bricusse
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee,
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the east doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so preserve
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
-Anne Bradstreet-
The moment I heard my first love story I began seeking you, not realizing the search was useless. Lovers don't meet somewhere along the way. They're in one another's soul from the beginning. Jalal al-din Rumi

None can be eternally united who have not died for each other. Coventry Patmore
The woman was not taken from Adam’s head, you know,
So she must not command him, Tis evidently so;
The woman was not taken from Adam’s feet, you see,
So he must not abuse her - the meaning seems to be.
The woman she was taken from under Adam’s arm,
Which shows he must protect her from injury and harm.
-Scottish Nuptial Song-
