Since everyone and their pet ferret is tying the matrimonial noose this weekend, I thought I'd submit my favorite love poem of all time; a sublime romantically tithed stanza from Wreckx-n-effex Rump Shaker "All I wanna do is a vroom-vroom-vroom an da' boom-boom!" NO! Just kiding. Here's William Shakespeare and one of the many mantra's I live by:
Sonnet CXVI
LET me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love ’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me prov’d,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov’d.
-William Shakespeare
