now yes, a meaningful contribution...

This is one of my favourites, couldn't just mention one: "The Good Morrow" by John Donne, a classic. I just quote the last stanza because it is wonderful in itself.

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest:
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp north, without declining west?
Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike that none do slacken, none can die.

John Donne


And don't you think Shakespeare's sonnet 116 is just beautiful? ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments...")
