1
Isolde: "There she, who bore you ,brought you forth
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is as srong as death."
(From the Bible Solomon 8:5-6)
Tristan: ridiculous.
Isolde: I happen to believe what that says, don't you think there's more to life?
Tristan: Than what?
Isolde: Something more than duty and death. Why be capable of feelings for not to have them? Why long for things if they're not meant to be ours?

Tristan: Come with me. Come with me!
Isolde: I can't!
Tristan: Why not? Please!
Isolde: Tristan, we both know this can't be, we've known it from the start. That doesn't mean it isn't true, it is, it just cannot be. I want to know that you're alive somewhere thinking of me from time to time. I want to know that there's more to this life and I can't know that if they kill you. Please! Go.

My face in thine eyes, thine in mine appears.
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest.
Where can we find two better hemispheres...
without sharp North,without declining West?
Whaterver dies was not mixed equally.If our two loves be one...
and thou and i love so alike that none can slacken...
none can die.
(From The Good-Morrow By John Donne)
4 Attach a poem: The author is unknown, Zhang Xiaoxian or Tagore
The furthest distance in the world
The furthest distance in the world
Is not between life and death
But when I stand in front of you
Yet you don't know that
I love you
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when i stand in font of you
Yet you can't see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot
Be togehter
The furthest distance in the world
Is not being apart while being in love
But when plainly can not resist the yearning
Yet pretending
You have never been in my heart
The furthest distance in the world
Is not
But using one's indifferent heart
To dig an uncrossable river
For the one who loves you
