Kiss me with rain on your eyelashes, come on, let us sway together, under the trees, and to hell with thunder.
Interpretation
This quote expresses a deep romantic longing to connect intimately with someone amidst nature's elements.
In this quote, Edwin Morgan evokes a vivid image of a romantic encounter where the beauty of nature enhances the emotions of love. The reference to being kissed by rain symbolizes a desire for passionate connection, while the invitation to sway together under the trees suggests a shared experience that transcends challenges, such as the 'thunder' that represents life's obstacles. It captures the essence of love being powerful enough to make one disregard the turmoil around them.
In practice
This quote would be perfect for a wedding toast to celebrate romantic love.
When you go, if you go, And I should want to die, there's nothing I'd be saved by more than the time you fell asleep in my arms in a trust so gentle I let the darkening room drink up the evening, till rest, or the new rain lightly roused you awake. I asked if you heard the rain in your dream and half dreaming still you only said, I love you.
I crossed the room, and what you did was to feel my hair over and over again and in different ways, touch it, with the palm of your hand... felt it, strands of hair, with your fingers, touched it as if it were cloth, the way a child touches its favorite surfaces.
What the world needs is not 'a little bit of love', but a surgical operation.
I believe in the religion of Love, whatever direction its caravans may take, for Love is my religion and my faith.
One word _x000D_ _x000D_ Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:_x000D_ _x000D_ That word is love.
As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away.
If you want your life to be a small part of eternity, to be lucid even in the heart of madness, love... Love with all your strength, love as though it is all you know how to do, love enough to make the gods themselves jealous... for it is in love that all ugliness reveals its beauty.
