here you go, mi amor ♡♡♡

“...the world was made so that we could find each other in it.”

“Take me away from all these other people, my love. Let us go far away. Let us live our life, all new, all ours, from the very beginning.”

“Understand, I’ll slip quietly away from the noisy crowd when I see the pale stars rising, blooming, over the oaks. I’ll pursue solitary pathways through the pale twilit meadows, with only this one dream: You come too.”

“Ordinarily I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable. I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my ways of praying, as you no doubt have yours. Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds, until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing. If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love you very much.”

“When I think of little flowers that grow in grass, and little streams and places where we can lie and look up at the clouds—Oh, I simply ache for them—for them with you.”

“And your letters, your sweet and dear letters—when I read them, I feel like a plant growing in light. And I forget my own shadows.”

“You, Beloved, who are all / the gardens I have ever gazed at, / longing.”

“it were comfort forever – just to look in your face, while you looked in mine –”

“a thing most new complete fragile intense, / which wholly trembling memory undertakes—your kiss”

“There you are, and I am very glad of it. You have never done anything to me that was not good; I love you tenderly.”

“We feel that way together: sun-drenched, refreshed, touched by light.”

“I love you with all my heart. I see, when I am gloomy, your kind face, and I feel the radiant power of your goodness.”

“Everybody I met / gave me no rest / but you.”

“She rested her head against his and felt, for the first time, what she would often feel with him: a self-affection. He made her like herself. With him, she was at ease; her skin felt as though it was her right size.”

“we are so both and oneful / night cannot be so sky / sky cannot be so sunful / i am through you so i”

“I can’t be half gentle enough, / half tender enough / toward you, toward you, / inarticulate, not half loving enough”

“...but for you, my love, I am more delicate...”

“One wearies of all things; never of you.”

“...you are in me like the song in the nightingale’s throat even when it’s not singing.”

“You don’t meet the people you love, you recognize them.”

“Maybe I’m getting tired – I can’t think of anything but nights with you. I want them warm and silvery.”

“It is late now, I am a bit tired; the sky is irritated by stars. And I love you, I love you, I love you – and perhaps this is how the whole enormous world, shining all over, can be created – out of five vowels and three consonants.”

“I want to sleep with you, fall asleep and sleep. That magnificent folk word, how deep, how true, how unequivocal, how exactly what it says. Just—sleep. And nothing more. No, one more thing: my head buried in your left shoulder, my arm around your right one—and that’s all. No, another thing: and know right into the deepest sleep that it is you.”

“I’m thinking when awake, how sweet if you were with me, and to talk with you as I fall aslep, would be sweeter still.”

“I have faith in you. It seems / that I could wait for your voice / in silence, through centuries / of darkness.”

“If you were a star, I would gaze by the window till dawn…”

“And when will You come to see me in a dream and make night sweeter than night?”

“and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you”

“I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning.”
