Love is madness. Love is divine. Love is a mirage. Love is . . .Love is different for everybody. Some say that words may never be enough to express this feeling. And yet, some of the most beautiful thoughts on love have been expressed in poetry. 100 World's Greatest Love Poems brings together an eclectic collection of poems, ranging from the love poems of Edmund Spenser, John Donne, William Shakespeare to that of Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, and Emily Dickinson. Comprising light-hearted verses to grand sonnets, this edition is about love in all its varied forms-eternal, ephemeral, false, unrequited, platonic, erotic, ideal, and true. ''Love conquers all things, so we too shall yield to love.'' - Virgil''Yet each man kills the thing he loves,By each let this be heard,Some do it with a bitter look,Some with a flattering word.''- Oscar Wilde ''I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times . . . In life after life, in age after age, forever.''- Rabindranath Tagore ''Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom: If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.'' - William Shakespeare
