True love begins with algebra
Those casual actors x and y,
Nonentities whose magic role
Is to turn nothing into all.
To be and not to be: to mate:
Michael Hamburger
from The Mathematics of Love
The hills began dancing like rams.
"Oh Lord," I thought, "Our secrets will be discovered,"
But she reached back at once with her powerful hands
And covered us both with her long black hair,
And once again it was night.
Judah al-Haziri
(13th century Hebrew poet)
And the night is turning into day
I want to know I'll die before you
I want to know I'll die before
We aren't lovers anymore
Sam Shepard
from Savage Love
