Kontext: But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love for ever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met—or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

Variante: No, the heart that has truly lov'd never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close;
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets
The same look which she turn'd when he rose.

„I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —“
— Edgar Allan Poe American author, poet, editor and literary critic 1809 - 1849

Kontext: From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone
— George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton British politician 1709 - 1773
Song; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
„In silence the heart raves. It utters words
Meaningless, that never had
A meaning.“
— Robert Penn Warren American poet, novelist, and literary critic 1905 - 1989
"True Love"
Kontext: In silence the heart raves. It utters words
Meaningless, that never had
A meaning. I was ten, skinny, red-headed,
Freckled. In a big black Buick,
Driven by a big grown boy, with a necktie, she sat
In front of the drugstore, sipping something
Through a straw. There is nothing like
Beauty. It stops your heart. It
Thickens your blood. It stops your breath. It
Makes you feel dirty. You need a hot bath.
I leaned against a telephone pole, and watched.
I thought I would die if she saw me.
