EROS THE sense of the world is short,— To love and be beloved; Men and gods have not outlearned it; And, how oft soe'er they've turned it, 'Tis not to be improved. Ralph Waldo Emerson [1803-1882] "NOW WHAT IS LOVE" "NOW WHAT IS LOVE" Now what is Love, I pray thee, tell? Yet what is Love, I prithee, say? It is December matched with May, Yet what is Love, good shepherd, sain? Yet, shepherd, what is Love, I pray? A pretty kind of sporting fray, It is a thing will soon away. Then, nymphs, take vantage while ye may; And this is Love, as I hear say. Yet what is Love, good shepherd, show? Walter Raleigh [1552?-1618] |
