A Quiet Little Woman

love is not...

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 proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Shakespeare Sonnet 116

Yesterday I watched Sense and Sensibility with some friends, and re-heard this inspring sonnet.. doesn't it just conjure some great pictures in your mind of absolute devotion??  I just thought that I would share this wonderful thought with you!  I just LOVE shakespeare, and am going to be starting reading the complete works this week.  My sister and I just love talking in old-fashioned language... oh to live in the by-gone old days!!

I love the sonnet and the movie! :-)
I just watched part of the new version of S&S last night on YouTube. (I think I prefer the last, but it's still good.)

Have a wonderful day!

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I may not be married yet, but I need to learn this stuff now before my love runs out because of long business hours. : )

I'm having a giveaway! Come check it out!

Blessings!
