Letter

Alexander:

I hope everything is well. I hope you've found this letter.

When I first woke up – when I was born, I guess – I was living your life. I had all your friends and your family, and Trevor. I'm afraid to say I've lost most of those friends, but I haven't lost the others. I think I've done well with Trevor. I hope you can keep him. He's a treasure.

I'll miss him a lot. I wonder if I'll be dead when I'm gone from your body… it could be. I'll miss Trevor the most. Does he miss me? Maybe you can't answer, but I had to ask.

So, anyway, at first I didn't know how lucky I was. I thought it was perfectly normal to be born into someone else's life. When I really grasped how strange my life had been, it changed me. Before then, I didn't really care who you were. Like… the previous tenant in a house. It doesn't really matter who they were. Once I understood though, I couldn't just sit still. It fascinated me, that someone could just go away like that, and be replaced.

So I started to think a lot about you, about who you were, about what you were like. I asked your parents a lot of questions! Talk to them about it, they'll laugh. It kind of obsessed me – it still does.

Lately I've been getting these strange spots in my vision, flashes of things, temporary feelings in parts of my body. I can't be sure, but I think this means you're coming back. That I'm going away, and you're coming back. It terrified me. It still terrifies me.

I mean, think. Before that, I had no way of knowing if I was going to grow old and see your parents (can I call them ours?) die peacefully, maybe make a family with Trevor, or someone like him (a boy has a right to shop around.) I thought maybe this is permanent. Well, I don't think so now. It's been getting more frequent, more powerful, these flashes and pins and needles and everything.

I'm dying, then. It's not a painful way to go. It disturbs me, but I can live with it for now. Because… because this is what I was meant for. To take your place for a while. To breathe your breath for a while. To hold your hands for you – I was meant for it all.

I think I love you. I don't know you, but I know about you. I know you were good enough for Mom and Dad (it's what I call them, sorry if it's weird for you); good enough for Trevor. I just want you to be happy and okay.

So that's it. Be safe. Say hi to everyone for me…

Sincerely,

Chaplain

This was a letter I found in one of my readings, I thought it was very interesting, moving. It probably doesn´t make much sense on its own but I felt like I had to have it in a way, ofc, all the credit goes to the writer of the story which is why I´m also posting the link below. I think the story was very interesting and the idea behind it was new, perhaps it´s been done but I feel that this one is done in a simple, nice way.

Story: I was meant to hold you

A Prince´s Lessons

The Little Prince

                The Little Prince is one of my favorite characters of all books. First of all, because it was the first book I ever read, so I have special memories about it. Second, I really like the way he is. He is so curious; however, he is a shy little guy. I guess I used to feel somehow related to those characteristics. I like that he is always wanting to know the reason of things, he is always asking questions; I like how he insists so much in order to get what he wants, and above all, I love the way he found out the meaning of friendship. Tame was the word the author used; I found that scene very captivating. I really enjoyed reading The Little Prince as much as I did about almost thirteen years ago when I first read it.

                The Prince got to know all sorts of people, people who forgot about the little meaningful things on life. At first he met a king who was alone; however, he felt the universe belonged to him; then he found a conceited man who never listened to anything but praise; then there was a tippler who drank in order to forget he was a tippler, he lived unwillingly to change his addiction; later, in the next planet, the Little Prince found a business man who was so busy trying to own everything that he never enjoyed anything; in the next stop the Little Prince met a lamp-lighter, a good man, but his planet shrunk from time to time, so there was no room for anybody but himself; finally he met a geographer, a man who had never explored, a man who had never left his desk. All those types of people inhabit Earth as well, each one live like they inhabit their own planet, alone, each one so busy on their own ambitions that they have forgotten about happiness and companionship. Although the Little Prince didn´t understand any of the men he knew, he practically met all type of personas.

                The Little Prince, through his journey, shows the valuable things in life. The Little Prince´s most valuable possession was a rose. On the outside his rose was just like any other rose; however, the time they spent together, the time he wasted on her made that rose completely different to any other rose. Such thing: time wasted on something or someone, memories, words…; that´s what makes someone or something really valuable. “…What is essential is invisible to the eye”; therefore, happiness, worth and value are not in what we see with our eyes but they are in what we feel with our heart. That is, indeed, the most valuable truth in life.

This was a paper I presented for some English class. I found the paper last night in some folders... 

"Your comments are very inspiring!!!" was my teacher´s comment -yet I got a nine lol I had four spelling mistakes haha

Bienvenida -Mario Benedetti

Se me ocurre que vas a llegar distinta 
no exactamente más linda
ni más fuerte
ni más dócil
ni más cauta
tan solo que vas a llegar distinta
como si esta temporada de no verme
te hubiera sorprendido a vos también
quizá porque sabes
cómo te pienso y te enumero

después de todo la nostalgia existe
aunque no lloremos en los andenes fantasmales
ni sobre las almohadas de candor
ni bajo el cielo opaco

yo nostalgio
tu nostalgias
y cómo me revienta que él nostalgie

tu rostro es la vanguardia
tal vez llega primero
porque lo pinto en las paredes
con trazos invisibles y seguros

no olvides que tu rostro
me mira como pueblo
sonríe y rabia y canta
como pueblo
y eso te da una lumbre
inapagable
ahora no tengo dudas
vas a llegar distinta y con señales
con nuevas
con hondura
con franqueza

sé que voy a quererte sin preguntas
sé que vas a quererme sin respuestas.

¿y si Dios fuera mujer? por Mario Benedetti

¿Y si Dios fuera mujer? 

pregunta Juan sin inmutarse, 

vaya, vaya si Dios fuera mujer 

es posible que agnósticos y ateos 

no dijéramos no con la cabeza 

y dijéramos sí con las entrañas. 

Tal vez nos acercáramos a su divina desnudez 

para besar sus pies no de bronce, 

su pubis no de piedra, 

sus pechos no de mármol, 

sus labios no de yeso. 

Si Dios fuera mujer la abrazaríamos 

para arrancarla de su lontananza 

y no habría que jurar 

hasta que la muerte nos separe 

ya que sería inmortal por antonomasia 

y en vez de transmitirnos SIDA o pánico 

nos contagiaría su inmortalidad. 

Si Dios fuera mujer no se instalaría 

lejana en el reino de los cielos, 

sino que nos aguardaría en el zaguán del infierno, 

con sus brazos no cerrados, 

su rosa no de plástico 

y su amor no de ángeles. 

Ay Dios mío, Dios mío 

si hasta siempre y desde siempre 

fueras una mujer 

qué lindo escándalo sería, 

qué venturosa, espléndida, imposible, 

prodigiosa blasfemia.

Suicide Room

I just watched this movie. I wonder if it´s popular, I guess it must be, the trailer has scenes of kisses between two girls and another between two boys and there are so many videos with that part only. The tittle says a lot, but I thought Dominik, the main character, and Aleks, the guy that he kissed on a bet, were going to be bullied together or something like that but I was wrong, ironically it all was about Dominik.

It was ironic because he was pretty much invisible there, always, even in the bet, he was just put there to be the one kissed by the other guy. He was so alone, with workaholic parents that even when they saw things were going bad for him they refused to see there was a problem there that needed to be addressed, they care about their meetings and reputation...

I think the internet played a huge role in the movie too... I think many people have gone addict to the internet -I know I've spent a lot of time on line- and the down side of the internet is that as it can be in a way comforting -you can say what you want without being judged because no one knows you and you don´t care what they say- it can be very destructive, that happened to this guy, in one video he was "hot" in the next he was the one to laugh at, but it can be good too, it connects people in some way at least -which it did for this kid too- ofc that this "connections" can consume people as well. I never thought it was possible to make friendship or any kind of bond through the internet to someone you have never met or even see and I guess for someone who hasn´t lived it that part of the movie would seem stupid... I think like everything, balance is the key.

I got a headache due to the movie, but by no means that means that the movie is bad but I didn´t enjoy it either, it was too intense, how the girl Dominik met online wanted to kill herself and how he became tangled in her ways, she wanted to die so bad and he tried to convince her to stay but she couldn´t find meaning I guess, even with how they seem to get along. He didn´t want to die, he said that you should give all that you can give to your loved ones but I guess, in the end everything else became too overwhelming, his depression made him forget what he felt, what was real and what was not... a very sad thing is that his parents never saw him, even with all that, they just wanted him to go according to schedules and according to plans.

There were many comments about the movie, many said that this person was a coward or just plain stupid for commiting suicide for a kiss but I feel compasion for this person, that is fictional but I´m sure there are so many out there, feeling lonely and invisible and maybe even depressed. "I want to hug you" said the girl Dominik met online, it only made me think of all the times I´ve "hugged" and been "hugged" on line, at the beginning it was so weird, the it was just an expression and now, sometimes, it´s like it is real, the thought is...

so...

if there are any Dominiks out there that happen to read this, I want to hug you no matter if you think life is a gift or if like is shit. One day at a time as some other fictional Dominic said.

Finding pessimism in optimism??

About two weeks ago I got my copy of the book "Just Don´t Fall" by Josh Sundquist. I was so happy about it, I said so everywhere the day I got it. It´s only available in the United States and of course in on-line stores but it was completely unavailable for me so, when this family friend sent it to me I was grateful and happy.

I didn´t want to start reading it right away because I knew I´d want to read it complete at once and I wanted to really enjoy it. I already knew the ending, but everybody knows the ending but the great part is how Josh, the author, got to that point. 

The book is about him, the author. He is a motivational speaker that got to be a paralympic ski racer that survived cancer -and he says all that in his videos- he´s often motivated me to keep going even though I´m a pessimist and don´t like much the self-motivation/motivational type of things but the things he says are not like what the rest say, instead of giving steps to do or to be, he lets you know that there are bad things and that it´s ok not to be ok (ok, yes, that´s a song line but I really like it) and that your attitude is what makes the difference but it´s not the "think 'this' will happen and you´ll attract it" type of speech but the type that invites you to give 100% of your effort in order to overcome the difficulties you have. 

As I read his book, I was relieved to find out that even a happy and optimistic person such as him had hard times coping with his own difficulties, not that I´m glad that he had to go through that but because I felt somehow that there was something wrong with me because I was not happy enough with what I had whereas he, despite everything that life threw at him, seemed to appreciate what he has, his life so much that he makes a living out of spreading the 'good vibes' and makes me think that I might, one day, be where he is, looking at the bright side, the half full glass of life.

"Just Don't fall" really left a positive message for me, but me being me, at some lines I´d grab my pen and underline the parts where I somehow felt related... and I´m a pessimist, so was that me finding pessimism in optimism?

Here´s some of what I underlined (I hope I´m not violating any author rights, ´that´s so not my intention)

-- "I don´t want anyone to see me like this. I want to stay in my room for the whole year..."

--"Why would You do this, God? How could you do this? After I tried to be so happy for so long even thought I had one leg, and I always said such nice things about You to other people? I always told them You were great, and You had a plan, so they should trust You. And now--this?" 

--"I hate my life. I hate being inspirational. I hate being mature for my age. I hate all that shit" 

--"Because my mind has floated back into that gray expanse of space, about how I sit inclass and, whileeveryone else seemscontent to be a student and learn things, I worry about the craziest things, like whether I am dying  and wheterh I am living -you know, like, really living- life to the carpe-diem fullest, until my chest gets tight.."

Every time I was underlining those I felt like crying. I put the book aside and lay down for a few minutes while I breathed slowly, in and out, in and out until the tears went away.

Last Tuesday I returned to my job from the two-weeks off I had, I woke up before five in the morning, I remembered the book, I remembered some prayer that the author of this book did "God, if You want me to do something else I beg you to give me the desire..." and I found myself praying again after a very, very long time, not that I´ve ever stopped believing in God but I just couldn´t pray anymore. I´ve done it and I think the book has to do with it, I´ve also found myself thinking that if I give all my effort, it´ll be ok, even if I don´t come out as number one; and feeling like it´s ok to try because "I´m enough". I won´t lie and say that it´s been all optimism, I´m the same 24/7 pessimist that I´ve been for so long but there´s days in which it isn´t so heavy over my shoulders. I´m very grateful to that friend that allowed me to read the book and to Josh who wrote the book and even to God for making the author so very inspirational.

Through time

They slipped through time, the years, the seasons, together, always together, seamlessly, hand in hand. Time was of no importance, because it would always be spent in the company of the other, which was all that counted. Days were indistinguishable from the others, but each moment was treasured and remembered and held sacred and close to the heart. No action, however small, was insignificant. They never seven noticed when or if they died, so strong was their bond, their souls willingly locked and chained together by the want, the need, to continue to be beside each other until all collapsed and the world itself crumbled beneath their feet.

*****
While reading, a while ago, I found this, I think it´s beautiful and amazing how the author make time not to matter at all, as if the character´s been living in some kind of suspended time that eventually lead to eternity. 

A must read

Moonrise by Ruthlesse wow! this is a must read. It´s a supernatural/sci-fi story. It talks about aliens comming to earth and scientific research being mad all tinged with the human chaos that emotions bring. With two stories read by this same author in the course of a day and night, I must say, this person is talented. I hope whoever read this gives this story a try. I really liked it a lot.

Wonderland

Last night I came across this story named "Wonderland" this is the summary the author has made: Finally, he leaned in and kissed me, telling me before we moved on, "If you feel any kind of pain at all, or if my body heats up too much for you, just tell me to stop before it gets out of control. I mean it, Amber, no waiting until the last second, no matter what." After that I knew I had to read it and I did, the final line says something about "going home" I liked that, it reminded me of my friend´s story even if the story line is different but it has those fantasy elements and unexpected outcome. It feels like parts of it could be developed further but it´s short enough to keep you reading until the end but not with that effect of wanting to know it all at once. It´s a very entertaining story with its share of fantasy and sadness that portrays the life of orphans and how they met Amber, the main character. 


I wish the author would create a second part but I guess an open ending is good for I can image Amber and the other kids ended however I want them to end.


Here´s the link, I think this is a story worth reading. Wonderland by Ruthlesse

The knight that saves the princess

"La fait longtemps que tés partie dans ma mémoìre 
La princess vit en moi
Reviens, mon chevalier
Retiens, mom chevalier
....
Sortans léxtérieur, si tu veux, mon chevalier
Je t'aime, mom amour
Il ya mom utopie près de vous"


This is beautiful, I can listen to it in French, I´ve tried reading it and I know I´m not good at French but still... French... The meaning of this is kinda mushy and way too cheesy to be even translated though but I liked it, I like the context of it therefore I had to comment on it.


This quote is from a manga that I had stopped reading, it had become lots of building and no climax and then it sort of became confusing but today I was bored and read it -I also found out it´s over now. It felt rushed but the ending was cute -sort of- and the story that was told in the story was nice, it was about a knight who wanted to save and protect his princess (maybe I dreaded a bit the princes part but since the knight wasn´t your conventional knight it wasn´t that bad) but this princess was kinda bad, she caused trouble but what she wanted was to have his knight close to her even if it meant that she had to make trouble to have him close. The knight found another path, and I think that´s the main purpose of this, to find other paths, to see something else. The knight found a way to become a king and then the knight, as king was able to be with the princess. The quote above, I feel that´s what the princess says to the knight, the last line says "my paradise is with you" Ok, I must say I would hate to say things like that but I think I wouldn´t mind listening to that though I´d pretend I don´t like it (n that was TMI)

I think I´ll b drawing this during my week off

Ah, yeah the manga is Shitsurakuen and there are times in which I totally disliked it since it´s set in a school where girls are pretty much "things" and boys own them, it´s like a game -which sucks- until there´s this girl, Sora who gets to "play" the game, therefore she´s able to "own" girls which are like weapons to "use" on the game but what she wants is to set them free and ultimately set free her childhood friend -who´s the trouble-maker princess- but she had to make guys see her point of view... but that was the part that was awfully long and kind of boring but at the end there´s this guy and that´s where it became a bit confusing who tells the story of the knight and the princess and at the end, of course, Sora is the knight and the friend is the princess and of course they ended up together, they even married! married! so rushed but the quote made it worth it for me, except that they ended up drawing Sora too man-like in the end when she was not like that at the begining of the manga... Now, would I read it again? probably not all of it but the last chapter was pretty good and the manga was good to be read too.

Noblesse piano compositions

A beautiful piano composition. There are three piano compositions that I´ve found, one for each one of three of the characters of this manga -or manwha, I hope I havent spelled it wrong- I believe it trully transmit the essense of the characters, specially M-21´s  and the part where it goes faster.


 There´s aso Frankenstain´s composition, the name gives the image of other Frankestain but this one´s wicked haha


Also there´s Rai´s composition. Rai, wow, he´s amazing -n so hot- He´s the very powerful Noblesse, he hardly ever talks and he´s a bit dummy for technology stuff but only because he´s been asleep for God knows how long. He´s also a tea lover. His composition in a way -to my opinion- doesnt match his character but on second thought it does since he´s so ancient, calm, almost shy and misterious but very powerful. I love all these piano compositions, they´re so beautiful and I love the feeling they give me.

You Inspire Me, a romance fiction - FictionPress.com

You Inspire Me, a romance fiction - FictionPress.com

Such a beautiful story. It gives the feeling of longing, desperation in a very silent way, if that makes sense. I could read it again and again

Pride and Prejudice

ah! This one is one of my favorite books and Jane Austen is definetely my favorite author -with Anne Rice- though my favorite book was not written by Anne Rice or Jane Austen I still consider them both to be my two top favorite authors. Anne Rice for the darkness, seductive, dangerous scenery and characters and Jane Austen for the pure, decent, day-dream-like romance of young girls and loving gentlemen. I think both of them, Rice and Austen, write fantasy, Rice because such creatures as vampires who are beautiful and powerful beyond what´s natural dont exist and Austen because such romance and tender, sweet innocent love doesnt exist like that.

This time I want to talk particularly of Pride and Prejudice. I love it and that says it all. Even though it is a very romantic type of story I like it because the main female character is not the submissive kind at all. She rejects the guy because it goes against her principles to be with a man only for security and a good life -which at that time if you were a woman you could only get by marrying- in spite of that she said no to him because she thought he was too proud.
A love story... he loves her and.... I wont tell the whole story but it´s an amazing love story where they hate eachother at the beginning but mr. Darcy  is actually falling for Elizabeth who in the end gets to know mr. Darcy and falls for him as well but thinks he doesnt have feelings for her after she rejected him.
I love both the book and the movie, in that order, and in the movie I love two scenes, one, when he helps her to get to the carriage and two where he confesses his love for the second time and he´s stuttering "..and I love, I love, I love you..." he says and with such eyes that you just melt -laughs- Im not usually like this but ... I guess I, in a way, want the fairy tale too but Im rational enough to know that such things are not for real and when it feels like that is only because your brain is flooded with some chemicals... but anyways the book and movie are amazing and in the movie the soundtracks are awesome:

gender neutral

I think I want to move to Sweden btw that reminds me I had a dream that I went to live there lol anyways why am I saying this? because I just read some article -who knows how accurate it is though- that describes this pre-school where there´s no anything that reinforce gender-roles and I find it amazing! I dont know if that is because a few years ago I read this thick book on feminism and how gender-roles are given to us since before we are born or because I had a very very feminist teacher -but yeah, I am indeed a feminist, though not a man hater at any rate- n yeah my university has lots of feminist teachers, pretty much all of them, but anyways I found the idea amazing and well I´ve always have this idea that when I have children -though I refuse to ever have them haha- I´d like to try not to give those gender-roles -you can blame my father for making me a feminist(that´s nice dad!- Of course after the articles there were many comments...many of them dissappointed me, one of them said that they´re emasculating men, I was like whaatt??!! and some others asking who´d like to marry a gender-neutral man or woman, to be honest I would -though I dont want to marry, but Im just saying- I think most of the people who disagreed with this iniciative must be old? not that Im saying by any means that old people clinges to stereotypes but I´ve seen that they tend to do it more than younger people or maybe they were very religious since they were treating the topic as if the iniciative is trying to change gender when it only tries to give equality I guess.
One more thing, there was, of the comments I read, one that I think is more logic or valid and it was related to the fact that in the school the tales and books all deal with topics related to adoption, homosexuality and stuff like that and you wont find there cinderella or white snow, well the person said that it was true there were not typical stereotypes there but they were making other stereotypes I think this person was kind of right not that Im against of any of that, on the contrary I think it´s nice that they´re giving this children the oportunity of being open-minded but yeah that, in a way is making another stereotype, ok, probably not in a bad way but it´s just another way since before the whole thing of girls must be girly and men must be manly was consider "natural" nowadays what´s "normal" is changing and I think Im glad for that, after all, as I read somewhere "normal is the exception to the rule" :)
here´s the article:

** and yeah, like everything in this blog, this is only my opinion, my point of view -that makes me think that I should put my last blog description again "looking life though Meztli´s (Moon´s) eyes" and that is it, just my thoughts on the matter

Noblesse

I spend *doing the math* 12 hours of a thursday + other 12 hours of a friday reading Noblessed manga! -well the 161 chapters it has- I just loved it, something obvious based on the amount of time I wasted on it -I dont regret it though.
What I liked the most about it is that the whole thing is colored and the drawings are so beautiful, plus Rai attitude n power wow!! amazing. Of course, I was going to give it a try when I learned it had to do with supernatural things, genetic experiments and vampires! btw I also like all the names, even the experiment names!!

I cant wait to read more of it. So far, Rai awoke -I´m thinking he´s the top of the top of vamps- many guys that were genetically modified appeared -modified to imitate Noblesse powers- some that call themselves noblesse appeared too, and now someone has come to bring back Seira -a noblesse- I wonder what will happen later...

MariAli

Now, for my not real books.... this morning I found this very sweet story!! I really liked it. To make it short, it`s a story where love surpasses everything even death, n oh, my! I loved that ending part!! where the two main characters find each other in the afterlife and they keep on being together there as well!! just lovely!

tuesdays with Morrie

I have a long time since I havent talked about any of my readings, I almost feel like I`m not reading as much as I used to which feels like not being me...of course I´ve had million things to do, so I guess it`s not only my fault, thought it`s true that I stopped reading real books -what unreal books have u read, ha?- because I lost my library id ¬¬ anyway, about the book, it`s actually intensive reading -haha using big words- that is I`m reading it for school but it doesnt mean it`s a bad reading in fact, it`s quite good and some parts of it almost made me cry.

The story starts with a graduation, a teacher and a student, both had became friends. The student promissed to always be in touch with the teacher. He never did. Time went by and then the student founds out his teacher is dying... many things happened and they met again. Morrie, the teacher is teaching Mitch, the student, again, teaching him about death and life... it`s a quite simple but emotional book.

Some quotes that I like so far -because I havent finished it- are:
"should`t the world stop? dont they know what has happened to me?
but the world did not stop, it took no notice at all..."

"Part of me is scared of leaving school. Part of me wants to go desperately. Tension of opposites."

The latter is me nowadays... btw, there`s this part that I really liked, when Morrie, the teacher founds out he`s dying he decided to do a living funeral, how cool is that, ha?, so that he could hear all the nice things ppl would say about him! I think I`ll do one of those some day haha

Kaguya hime

Siempre se aprende algo!!! de todas partes... Kaguya hime es un personaje de un cuento japones, quien envía a sus pretendientes a misiones imposibles a fin de que no volvieran pues no se quería casar con ninguno de ellos pero no sabía cómo rechazarlos.
Genial no?!
Me haré como Kaguma Hime jajajajaja no marriage!!

*encontré la historia x ahi: http://genzoman.deviantart.com/art/Kaguya-Hime-127666728?moodonly=158

My last even lightER- reading

Mostly Memoirs of a Geisha, but in a comic book version! maybe that´s one of the reasons I like the "mademoiselle buterfly" manga, besides it was a very romantic and happy-ending story type of story. The guy, to whom the main character is in love with, is a tatto artist.... anyways, a nice story, almost like memoirs of a Geisha -she was a geisha apprentice- but without that much suffering amount.

*even lighER reading? well, the books I normally read just for the pleasure are my "light reading" usually they´re longer than a hundred pages, and every body says it must be difficult to read those but it is easy for me, but this maybe most people would think is useless to read, but it is even more "light" -though still long- that´s why I think it is my "even lighter reading" or something like that ^^ whatever, right? jajajaja

my current light-reading

dos n un solo día! bueno... mi lectura de esta semana: the sorrows of young Werther -segunda lectura, ahora en inglés ^^- y los sonetos de Shakespeare. My favorito: el 116 *no creo en eso del amor eterno pero siempre me llaman la atención las utopías... quiza s mi subconsciente queriendo creer* /si, como no!/

 116

 Let me not to the marriages of two minds

 Admit impediments. Love is not love

 Wich alters when it alteration finds,

 Or bends with the remover to remove.

 O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,

 That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

 It is the star to every wand´ering bark,

 Whose worth´s unknown, although his height be taken.

 Love´s not Time´s fool, though rosy lips and cheecks

 Within his bending sickle´s compass come;

 Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

 But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error, and upon me prov´d

I never writ, nor no man ever lov´d.
