Book Description

Excerpt from Sweethearts Always: Poems of Love Thee Literature of Love finds its best expression in Poetry, the language of emotion. So voluminous is this literature, corresponding as it does to the universality of the emotion, that it would seem that no novelty of poetic expression were left the modern lover who would indite a sonnet to his mistress' eye-brow or turn a couplet in praise of her less obvious charms. From the "Song of Solomon" to the "Songs of Swinburne" has welled up a chorus of songs by major and minor poets that would daunt the spirit of the bravest anthologist. No adequate anthology were indeed possible without qualifying limitations of a most definite kind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
