Thy Loving Hate
(Source: lisafredrika)
Why must our path’s cross but never allow us to flow together?
(Source: justsitthereandlookpretty)
I WONDER by my troth, what thou and I
Did, till we loved ? were we not wean’d till then ?
But suck’d on country pleasures, childishly ?
Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den ?
‘Twas so ; but this, all pleasures fancies be ;
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, ‘twas but a dream of thee.
And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear ;
For love all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone ;
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown ;
Let us possess one world ; each hath one, and is one.
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest ;
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp north, without declining west ?
Whatever dies, was not mix’d equally ;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.
GOOD-MORROW

“Tristan, we’ve both known this can’t be. We’ve known this from the start. That doesn’t mean it isn’t true. It is. It just cannot be. I want to know that you are alive somewhere thinking of me from time to time. I want to know that there is more to this life and I can’t know that if they kill you.”
Tristan and Isolde (via lalunenoire)
Words that my love would speak, if I could but see her one more time.
“Yesterday at the market, I saw a couple holding hands… and I realized we’ll never do that. Never anything like it. No picnics or unguarded smiles. No rings. Just… stolen moments that leave too quickly.”
My only love, sprung from my only hate! Why has cupid chosen to place such torture onto me? A Capulet, how could I not see? And not only a Capulet, but one who’s mother has already found her a suitor!
Tonight I gazed upon an angel, a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear, Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! Sin from my lips, passed into here and then onto me she placed it back.
