“Alas, I have grieved so I am hard to love. Yet you love me—wilt thou? Open thine heart wide, And fold within, the wet wings of thy dove.”

— Elizabeth Barrett Browning, excerpt of XXXV, ‘If I Leave All for Thee’, in Sonnets from the Portuguese (ed. William Peterson & Julia Markus)

“I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
