LitLove?



Lit and Love have undeniably associated through time and again. Classics such as "Wuthering Heights", "Romeo and Jualiet" and "Jane Eyre" are but a few that have been read and reread over generations. Shakespeare's "O Mistress Mine" is a poetry that one should not miss to read when adrressing the topic of love:



O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?

O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,

That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;

Journeys end in lovers meeting,

Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;

Present mirth hath present laughter;

What's to come is still unsure:In delay there lies not plenty;

Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,Youth's a stuff will not endure.
