A Thousand Word Thursday

Since I've got weddings on my mind.... One of the other most fabulous weddings that I've been to was in Paris. One of my best-ies (bff) from college married a French fellow and the whole wedding weekend was as romantic and amazing as you would imagine it to be. :) I read a poem at that wedding, too. God help me, though, I can't remember who wrote it, though! I think it was Pablo Neruda or another Spanish poet. I read a gorgeous Wallace Stevens poem at my cousin's wedding last Saturday..... Here it is:

Restatement of Romance

The night knows nothing of the chants of night.
It is what it is as I am what I am:
And in perceiving this I best perceive myself

And you. Only we two may interchange
Each in the other what each has to give.
Only we two are one, not you and night,

Nor night and I, but you and I, alone,
So much alone, so deeply by ourselves,
So far beyond the casual solitudes,

That night is only the background of our selves,
Supremely true each to its separate self,
In the pale light that each upon the other throws.
