Love Across the Ages

Romance has stood the test of time. If you look back, the Greek, the Indian, and the Roman civilization regarded "love" as an integral aspect of life. The Kamasutra, an ancient Indian manuscript on the art of romance, elevates love to a form of spiritualism. Love stories of Antony and Cleopatra, and Romeo and Juliet are inspiring tales of love and sacrifice.

Courtship, chivalry, and romance are the essential ingredients of passionate love. Today love is expressed in a variety of ways. Some express love with passionate love letters, others express it with romantic sayings. Still others express their love with gifts and cards.

How do you express your love to your beloved? Are you a die-hard romantic or a pragmatic lover? Learn the art of loving by reading these love proverbs. Feel the power of love in Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem How Do I Love Thee?
