It feels like hunger pains, and we use the same word. Pang. Perhaps this is why Cupid is depicted with a quiver of arrows, because love feels at times like being pierced in the chest. It is a wholesome violence . People search for love as if it were a city lost beneath the desert dunes, where pleasure is the law, the streets are lined with brocade cushions, and the sun never sets. " ~Diane Ackerman, in the introduction. Culled from love letters, poetry, fiction, personal essays, and memories, this lavish and fascinating anthology celebrates humankind's grandest pastime and obsession: love. Here is a panorama of fine writing about love's many moods and majesties, from all the veils of flirtation, seduction, and marriage to the tempests of suspicions, jealousy, and heartache. Here is a treasury of more than two hundred selections~ from Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" to Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?" to poems by John Ashbery, Louise Gluck, and Jorie Graham. There are excerpts from Romeo and Juliet, Madame Bovary, The Odyssey, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, and Ironweed, as well as letters from Baudelaire to Sabatier, George Eliot to Herbert Spencer, and Henry Miller to Anais Nin. A delightful mix of the contemporary and the classic.
