How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
El segundo poema que he encontrado es de Sir Edwin Arnold y me encanta como semuestra a dos almas perdidas reunión como uno solo. La "larga noche"de su vida anterior ha terminado, y su nueva vida con su cónyuge es el día eterno.
Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours
for one lone soul, another lonely soul -
Each chasing each through all the weary hours,
And meeting strangely at one sudden goal;
Then blend they - like green leaves with golden flowers,
Into one beautiful and perfect whole -
And life's long night is ended, and the way
Lies open onward to eternal day.
Hay tantos poemas que me gustaría haber leído en mi boda, pero creo que estos dosson los más fieles al verdadero significado del matrimonio y el amor.
