But there, where I have garnered up my heart, Where either I must live or bear no life;... The fountain from the which my current runs Or else dries up: to be discarded thence, Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads To knot and gender in!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When my lover came to bed, the knot came untied... all by itself. My dress, held up by the strings of a loosened belt, barely stayed on my hips. Friend, that's as much as I know now. When he touched my body, I couldn't at all remember who he was, who I was, or how It was.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A fretful temper will divide The closest knot that may be tied,... By ceaseless sharp corrosion; A temper passionate and fierce May suddenly your joys disperse At one immense explosion.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Dull sublunary lovers' love, Whose soul is sense, cannot admit... Absence, because it doth remove Those things which elemented it.
But we by a love so much refined That our selves know not what it is, Interassured of the mind, Careless eyes, lips, and hands to miss.
Our two souls therefore, which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Divorce me, untie, or break that knot again, Take me to you, imprison me, for I... Except you enthral me, never shall be free, Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
So must pure lovers' souls descend T'affections, and to faculties,... Which sense may reach and apprehend, Else a great Prince in prison lies.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When I died last, and, dear, I die As often as from thee I go... Though it be but an hour ago, And lovers' hours be full eternity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
