What poems for 18th wedding anniversary?
A few words of love often have more impact than sumptuous gifts. Our greatest poets have written magnificent poems about the bonds that unite spouses. Here are some of them:
- Air. “The whole universe obeys love; Beautiful Psyche, submit your soul to her. The other Gods court this God, And their power is less sweet than his flame. Of young hearts it is the supreme good: Love, love; everything else is nothing. Without this love, so many delightful objects, Golden paneling, woods, gardens, and fountains, Have no attractions that are not languid, And their pleasures are less sweet than its pains, Of young hearts it is the supreme good: Love, love; everything else is nothing“. (Jean de la Fontaine)
- To George Sand. “Here you are returned, in my starry nights, Beautiful angel with azure eyes, with veiled eyelids, Love, my supreme good, and which I had lost! For three years I thought I would conquer you and curse you, And you, with your eyes in tears, with your sweet smile, At the bedside of my bed, here you are returned. Well, two words from you made me the king of the world, Put your hand on my heart, its wound is deep; Expand it, beautiful angel, and let it be broken! Never a beloved lover, dying on his mistress, Has drunk the celestial intoxication on blacker eyes, No one on a more beautiful forehead has ever kissed you ” (Alfred de Musset)
- Dreamed for winter. “In winter, we will go in a little pink wagon. With blue cushions. We will be fine. A nest of crazy kisses rests. In every soft corner. You will close your eyes, so as not to see, through the mirror, Grimacing the shadows of the evenings, These snarling monstrosities, populace. Of black demons and black wolves. Then you will feel your cheek scratched… A little kiss, like a crazy spider, Will run around your neck… And you will say to me: “Search!”, bowing your head, – And we will take time to find this beast – Who travels a lot…” (Arthur Rimbaud)
