The way that lovers use is this; They bow, catch hands, with never a word, And their lips meet, and they do kiss, -- So I have heard. They queerly find some healing so, And strange attainment in the touch; There is a secret lovers know, -- I have read as much. And theirs no longer joy nor smart, Changing or ending, night or day; But mouth to mouth, and heart on heart, -- So lovers say. - The Way That Lovers Use, by Rupert Brooke




Reach your hand to me, my friend, With its heartiest caress– Sometime there will come an end To its present faithfulness– Sometime I may ask in vain For the touch of it again, When between us land or sea Holds it ever back from me.
Reach Your Hand To Me by James Whitcomb Riley




But to see her was to love her; Love but her, and love for ever. / Had we never lov'd sae kindly, / Had we never lov'd sae blindly, / Never met-or never parted, / We had ne'er been broken-hearted.
ae fond kiss, robert burns




Because your voice was at my side I gave him pain, Because within my hand I held Your hand again. There is no word nor any sign Can make amend — - He is a stranger to me now Who was my friend.
Because Your Voice Was at My Side by James Joyce




“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.”
