Live-in Words I

Going along the lane of life, there are words that affect, that live in us. Poems and Prose, that speak our mind, touch, some such quotes, that do the trick for me are:

What if we still hold on, we two
with life forever old yet new,
changed not in kind, but in degree.
The instant made eternity-
And heaven just prove that you and me
stay alone, together, forever and forever
- Browning

Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows,
And when we meet at anytime again,
Be it not seen in either of our brows-
That we one jot of former love retain
-Drayton

Love alters not with this brief hours and weeks
But bears it out even to the edge of doom
 - Shakespeare

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any you belied with false compare.
- Shakespeare

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove.
- Marlowe

Love's riddles are, that though thy heart depart
It stays at home, and thou with losing savest it
-Donne

Teach me to love and to forgive,
Exact my own defect to scan,
What others are, to feel, and know myself a man.
-Gray

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day, I shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
- Arnold
