I want to make my sister move on after the death of her husband. He died 5 years ago, but she keeps denying herself the opportunity to love again, and that despite she is a beautiful woman and is only 33 years old. I liked her husband and I know that they respected each other when he was alive, but I really feel she would benefit from start going out again, maybe seeing other people.
Although I know that literature alone is not the answer here, still I would like to talk to her and present her some passages of poetry or prose like the following:
Love Sonnet LXXXIX
When I die, I want your hands on my eyes:
I want the light and the wheat of your beloved hands
to pass their freshness over me once more:
I want to feel the softness that changed my destiny.
I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep.
I want your ears still to hear the wind, I want you
to sniff the sea's aroma that we loved together,
to continue to walk on the sand we walk on.
I want what I love to continue to live,
and you whom I love and sang above everything else
to continue to flourish, full-flowered:
so that you can reach everything my love directs you to,
so that my shadow can travel along in your hair,
so that everything can learn the reason for my song.
Do you guys have any excerpts to contribute?
