About This Quote
Love is not love that wounded bleeds And bleeding sullies slow. Come death within my hands and I Unto my love will go. "Love is not love that wounded bleeds" is a quote from Shakespeare's Sonnet 18. The subject of the sonnet is someone who has been hurt by love, and who feels that love can never heal his wounds. The speaker wants to tell the one he loves, "Don't give up on me."
