Rob Hefferan Art
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. Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night, Like softest music to attending ears! But, O, what damned minutes tells he o'er Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves! God gives us love. Something to love he lends us; but, when love is grown to ripeness, that on which it throve falls off, and love is left alone. Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. Ask not of me, love, what is love?
William Shakespeare
W.Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
W.Shakespeare, Othello
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Ask what is good of God above;
Ask of the great sun what is light;
Ask what is darkness of the night;
Ask sin of what may be forgiven;
Ask what is happiness of heaven;
Ask what is folly of the crowd;
Ask what is fashion of the shroud;
Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss;
Ask of thyself what beauty is.
Philip James Bailey, Festus
