What are some of your favorite chapters/passages depicting & discussing love?
I’m getting married in November and I’ll spend the night before in a room to myself since my partner and I won’t be staying together on the night before the wedding.
I’m really excited for it as I’m a pretty solitary person anyway and the place we’re staying is a pretty, old building.
One idea I had was to collect some of my favorite chapters/passages about love from literature and put them all into one document. And then, because I like bookbinding as a hobby, I wanted to bind them together in a book that I can read the night before.
I have a few of my favorites. There is a chapter in Anna Karenina that I adore. A couple points in LOtR.
But wanted to hear from other avid readers to maybe find some new ones or be reminded of moments I’ve forgotten.
All poetry, fiction, non-fiction, plays, etc. are welcome!
