of all the poems we read for class so far i enjoyed "to my dear and loving husband" the most. bradstreet caught me off gaurd with quite modern language useage. i expected to have a hard time deciphering the writing, because she lived in 1612, but i really felt that this poem, in both theme and language, proved timeless. although the entire poem seems so sweet and romantic and loving, the bst line has to be that last two, "then while we live, in love let's so persever, that when we live no more we may live ever." BEAUTIFUL! i just think that this couple must have such an appriectation and caring for eachother. i love that idea of timeless love-- that evven in death, one's lover will remain so.
i know this seems a bit random, but it reminds me of the lines of one of my favorite songs, a rap in "the light" by the artist Common Sense. he sings:
"i never knew a love like this/ it's gotta be something for me to write this/ queen i ain't seen you in a minute/ wrote this letter and finally decided to send it/ signed sealed delivered for us to grow together/ love has no limits/ it's been this way forever/ i know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you/i ain't gonna lie- i probably did it too/ cause of you, feelings i handle with care/ you know i ain't the type to walk around with matching shirts/ relationships are effort and i will match you work"..... BLAH BLAH-- it's a very sweet song and i LOVELOVE IT! if i knew how to do a link, i would give you one to the lyrics site. anyway, i think love poems are great--- they never get old for me, and they often express just how i feel about my life/love.
