"To my Dear and Loving Husband"

I'm not married but sometimes I feel just like that, being that a possitive thing. In the book Heaven on Earth I previously told you about, I found this magnificent ode to marriage and I wanted to share it with you, as well as a beautiful portrait Neima Pidal took of the two of us a while ago. Hope you like it as much as I do. (In future posts you'll know who else wore this magnificent No.Li.Ta dress)

"To My Dear and Loving Husband"

by Anne Bradstreet 

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; 
If ever wife was happy in a man, 
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold 
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. 
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
