I am studying French yet again this semester...and I totally hate it. I prefer to speak in my native tongue. I love to listen and interpret my new foreign language...but to speak it is the worst. I just want to nod my head smile everytime someone asks a question in French. ANd...dont tell me there are not people just like me all over the place. Really!
If thou must love me... (Sonnet 14)
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say,
"I love her for her smileher lookher way
Of speaking gently,for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day"
For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may
Be changed, or change for theeand love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry:
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.
