I thought of you and how you love this beauty, And walking up the long beach all alone I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder As you and I once heard their monotone. Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --We two will pass through death and ages lengthen Before you hear that sound again with me. Sara Teasdale
About This Quote

In this poem, poet Robert Frost speaks of the power of love in terms of the relationship between two people. In this case, one person is coming to terms with his or her love for another person, and he or she is faced with a question: “Will I be loved in return?” The speaker of the poem feels a sense of loneliness, but he comes to realize that love can exist even in a solitude. This kind of love is often expressed through music, and listening to the sound of waves breaking on a beach can remind us of the power of our love for another person. All romantics understand how powerful music can be when it is used to convey love.
