I can't. Just too pure. Loved every single one of 'em.

[Utpal Pathak · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first collection of poems that I've finished, and I've to admit that in the beginning I was sceptical of this one too!
Things started getting interesting after the first few pages, and as I kept on diving deeper and deeper, the realization that this collection is better then alright came knocking at my mind's door!
There are many good poems in here, but I won't lie and say that all of them are good to a whole new level, though if you're looking to read some wise words about love penned down by some geniuses, then this will do the job quite well!

A little gem of a book for all poetry lovers that will coax you into exploring the myriad facets of love or something that will leave you delve deeper into a love that still remains uncategorised and unexplored as penned down assortedly by some of the best poets ranging from the sixteenth century’s substantial to the twentieth century’s lucid yet discerning love poetries. Another wonderfully placed in order and enormously rich compilation of Love Poems.

My favourite poems out of the ones I've read so far in this collection include 1. The faithful lovers by anonymous( since it's humourous), 2. To the one that asked me why I loved J.G by Ephelia( since it is humourous) 3. Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe ( since it has a haunting quality) and 4. Heart, we will forget him by Emily Dickinson (since it's beautiful)

“Why then ask of silly man,
To oppose great nature’s plan?”

“We have lived our lives in a land of dreams!
How sad it seems.”
