Poetry Friday - Love


In honor of Valentine's Day (yesterday) here's a little poetic quote from Shakespeare.

No sooner met but they looked;
No sooner looked but they loved;
No sooner loved but they sighed;
No sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason;
No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
And in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage...

William Shakespeare - from As You Like It

  2. As You Like It is one of my favorites. Rosalind and Orlando 4-ever! :)
