Great Romances
« on: February 13, 2007, 02:39:22 PM »
Seeing how valentines is upon us once more I thought it might be fun to look at some famous romances/love affairs, both real and fictional through the ages to the present day.

Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. He gave up his crown and a empire to be with the woman he loved.

Athenais and King Louis XIV... she was his beautiful mistress for many, many years.

Then he dumped her for the nanny.  :-\

YES!

Also, Heloïse and Abélard

Robin Hood and Maid Marian


And the one that brought me to tears when I first read it... the flick was good too.

Newland Archer and Countess Ellen Olenska (The Age of Innocence)

Diesel, shouldnt you be on the sex boards?

Anyways, fictional great romances are much more romantic than real-life ones

Anthony & Cleopatra?  they just had it on the news here today that the neither of them looked anything like Liz Taylor or Mr. Harris.  In fact, they've just now got this silver coin on display which (if the impression from ages ago is legit) shows that the pair of them were pugugly.

ps:  Heathcliffe and Wuthering Heights.  Nasty romance that, but great...




modify:
oh how about that fantastic amazing line:  "Quite frankly darling, I don't give a damn"

Heithcliff and catherine earnshaw


roland and susan...

I’ve no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn’t have thought of it.  It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am


i cant  believe NO ONE mentioned Wuthering Heights..

i am dissapointed in ALL who posted....and respect them less for this..

It isn't everyone's favorite idea of a great romance.  He was a cold brute and she was sickly.  I dunno, not at the top of the list.  :P

Speaking of romance, I can't believe you changed your  screen name to PROTEINFARTS!!!  ;D

That, however, which you may suppose the most potent to arrest my imagination, is actually the least, for what is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped on the flags! In every cloud, in every tree—filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day, I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women—my own features—mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!


true love is not love..that alters when it alteration finds..sonnet116 me thinks hon..

i wont explain myself on this..i think i'm right and everyone else is wrong if ya dont agree with me..period!
