Love Similes


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee abundantly, as far as the highest mountains and as deep as deepest seas.
I love thee to the ends of the universe, in its infinite depth.
I love thee constantly, as the sun shines on the earth.
I love thee naturally, as a happy child smiling.
I love thee profusely, like any man that loves food.
I love thee with devotion, like an athlete in training.
I love thee undoubtedly, like a stubborn man who's made up his mind.
I love thee with a passion I cannot lose and that cannot compete with any human love on earth.
And if God allows, I will love thee forever and always.

Kapiolani

-->
created at TagCrowd.com



"Kapiolani"

Who is Kapiolani? Kapiolani was a Queen of the Hawaiian Islands who is famous for defying the goddess Pele in the name of Christianity.  Alfred Tennyson wrote about this bold story in his poem "Kapiolani."   The words in my TagCrowd above describe the heroic, vivid story that Tennyson displays in his poem.  Tennyson describes the scene with bright, dramatic color from the fire goddess Pele.  Because of Kapiolani's dauntless actions against Pele, she can be seen as a heroic figure for Christianity.
