THIS IS MY LOT, BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS.

"If this was different, if we
lived in a place without duty,
would you be with me? "
"That Place does not exist."
"I'll pretend he's you." *
"You were right. I do not know if life is greater than death, but love was more than either."
"My face in thine eyes, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;
Where can we find two better hemispheres,
Without sharp north, without declining west?
Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I.
Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die. "
- Isolde, quoting from John Donne - 'Good Morrow'
"Place me like a seal over you heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot wash it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scourned."
- Isolde, quoting from Song of Songs 8:6-7
Tristan & Isolde is a great movie!
/PS: The soundtrack's playing on my blog.
