NEW POEMS BY PETERSON
LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Love does not dominate; it cultivates. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe- Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires; To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. - Kahlil Gibran
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu ON BRAHMS, JFK, & MUSIC
