Ode to a Nightingale- Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More: "Ode to a Nightingale
by John Keats
1.
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,— "

Epithalamium, [Happy Bridegroom]- Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More: "Epithalamium, [Happy Bridegroom]
by Sappho
translated by A. E. Housman
Happy bridegroom, Hesper brings
All desired and timely things.
All whom morning sends to roam,
Hesper loves to lead them home.
Home return who him behold,
Child to mother, sheep to fold,
Bird to nest from wandering wide:
Happy bridegroom, seek your bride."

To My Dear and Loving Husband- Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More: "y Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold."

Goodreads | Khalil Gibran Quotes (Author of The Prophet): "“Hearts united in pain and sorrow
will not be separated by joy and happiness.
Bonds that are woven in sadness
are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure.
Love that is washed by tears
will remain eternally pure and faithful.”

Handmade wooden caskets custom personalized funeral Trappist Monks
Handmade wooden caskets custom personalized funeral Trappist Monks: "In the cool silence of the morning, the darkness slowly gives way to the soft light of the morning sun, casting its warmth onto the stone walls and floors. The clang of the bell tower reverberates throughout the grounds, the organ sings its praises as we lift our voices to God, and our prayer life flows into our work life."

Wordsworth: The Rainbow
Wordsworth: The Rainbow: "My heart leaps up when I behold
A Rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety."

Helen Keller Quotes to Inspire You
Helen Keller Quotes to Inspire You: "On Relationships:
Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love."

William Blake Quotations
William Blake Quotations: "Creativity
To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.
Dreams
What is now proved was once imagined.
Love
And we are put on Earth a little space, that we may learn to bear the beams of love."

Goodreads | Sappho Sings by Peggy Ullman Bell - Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists: "Here Psappha, as Sappho called herself in her own soft Aeolian dialect, sings her way from sadness through exile to triumph. Deliciously written, with descriptive language that transports you wholly into an ancient world, the author's sensuous, often erotic, tale grips and tantalizes with an ever-thickening and twisting plot and an abundance of characters who will remain ...more"

Charlotte Church - Habanera Lyrics
Charlotte Church - Habanera Lyrics: "from "carmen"
Quand je vous aimerai?
Ma foi, je ne sais pas,
Peut-ítre jamais, peut-ítre demain.
Mais pas aujourd’hui, c’est certain.
L’amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c’est bien en vain qu’on l’appelle,
S’il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière,
L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait;
Et c’est l’autre que je préfère
Il n’a rien dit; mais il me plaît.
L’amour! l’amour! l’amour! l’amour!
"
