Love poems
Robert Browning
Meeting at Night
1
The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and
low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from
their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed
i' the slushy sand.
2
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm
appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a
lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than
the two hearts beating each to each!

- 'Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.'
~ Carl Jung - 'Love can be understood only from the inside, as a language can be understood only someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only someone who lives in it.'
~ Robert C Solomon - 'This is one of the miracles of love: It gives … a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.'
~ C S Lewis
