Here are a few from my books. How do you think I fare? Of course, you can see some of them are borrowed/inspired by Jane Austen's words.
She thought of his love with a deeper sentiment of gratitude than she had ever felt before; she remembered his gentlemanly ways, his warmth, and the caring manner that softened the stiff, reserved way in which he had expressed himself in times past.
She was thankful for the strength of his love, a love which defied his own will, persisting against his reason and perhaps even against his character. She was grateful to him, not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still. - Bargain with the Devil
She and she alone made him feel complete. - Really Angelic
Not bad, Enid >:)
ReplyDeleteI agree that grand declarations of love can easily get cheesy. Why don't you just describe the practical consequences of it and leave the rest to the imagination of the reader?
There is a cool CD by Mayhem named Grand Declaration of War. Maybe that's easier to express?
Cold As Heaven
I think women may love the words of love more while men may love to make love more. Declaration of War? Yuck!
