Love can be detailed in many different manners and ways. Love can be amazing, one sided, and indestructible. Luckily, there are poems that show all of these emotions and depictions of love. As you read along you will see just a sum of what love can be as a whole.
First is “What Love Isn’t” by Yrsa Daley Ward, this is a good poem to start off with, because it states what love is on paper. It says what to practically expect when going into love. The poem states, “It is weight and it is too heavy to feel good sometimes. It is discomfort.” This quote is stating how love can seem weightless, but means so much to the heart. The next quote says, “It is never a slither, never a little it is a full serving.” This excerpt from the poem is basically …show more content…
This part of the story talks about the indestructible part of love, hence why it’s linked with the last paragraph. The poem starts from the prologue, saying, “A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows. Do with their death bury parent’s strife.” This part of the prologue just sums up into what is taking place in the story. Basically, these two kids love each other, but their parents hate each other, so they love in secrecy. The second quote, that actually contributes to how indestructible love is, goes “Romeo: I take thee at word. Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptiz’d: Henceforth I will never be Romeo.” This part of the play is stating how Romeo will change his name as long as Juliet calls him love, that is some quite strong love. Juliet then says later on, “How cam’st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, and the place death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find thee here.” Juliet is just saying why is Romeo here when he knows he is hated at her family’s house. In which Romeo responds, “With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls; For stony limits cannot hold love out, and what love can do that dare love’s attempt: Therefore thy kinsmen are not stop to me.” Romeo is replying in saying that his love is so …show more content…
The poem reads, “Mrs. Baroda was a little provoked to learn that her husband expected a friend, Gouvernail, up to a week or two on the plantation.” Although not seeming much, this is a setup into how the story will play out. Continuing later on, the story states, “Her mind only vaguely grasped what he was saying. Her physical being was for a moment predominant. She was not thinking of his words, only drinking in the tones of his voice. She wanted to reach out her hand in the darkness and touch him with the sensitive tips of her fingers upon the face or the lips. She wanted to draw close to him and whisper against his cheek-she did not care what-as she had might have done if she had not been a respectable women.” This quote of the text is the part where love is dared. She is tempted to be unfaithful to her husband, to do what she wants and break her marriage. Fortunately, she breaks it, and continues on loving her husband. The next quote of the story says, “ ‘Oh,’ she said to him, laughingly, after pressing a long tender kiss upon his lips, ‘I have overcome everything! You will see. This time I shall be very nice to him’ “ This text is stating that she has overcome the temptations and stopped loving the husband’s friend, and that their love is stronger because of it. Overall, this story shows that love can be a little rough, like “What Love Isn’t”
