Thousand Years of Love Poetry

If music is the food of love, poetry has always been its chosen language. Since time immemorial, lovers of all cultures have expressed their passion and pain in verse, finding in the fluid wealth of poetry a means of embodying the most powerful emotion. Countless poets through the ages, both male and female, have immortalised the journeys of their hearts in verse, and their sincere and moving words still speak to us today. Illustrated with paintings from many cultures and times, which reflect the diversity and broad cultural origins of the poems, Thousand Years of Love Poetry is a celebration of the delights and torments of love. Anyone who is, or has been, or would like to be, in love cannot fail to be moved by this extraordinary collection of poetry.Pagett, Fiona is the author of 'Thousand Years of Love Poetry', published 2004 under ISBN 9781904449058 and ISBN 1904449050.
