okay but French poetry is so pretty <3
Tu étais toi, et j'ètais moi
Nous étions deux avant cette fois
J'étais la tien avant que j'ai su
Et tu étlais la mienne maintenant et toujours
___________________________________________
You were you, and I was I
We were two before our time
I was yours before I knew
And you have always been mine too
- Lang Leav

'Gainst the faeries of the fire she with
tidal spirits waged
War; and earth, and air, and ocean felt how
fierce the battle raged.
High she shook her shining falchion,
pliant as the rushen plant,
Falchion her dwarf-lover forged her,
hard and bright as adamant;
Fighting by the Elle-King's side,
there she the lord of fireland slew;
All the boats of fire were routed;
crowned her queen the conquering crew;
Back to farieland she hasted;
home her train in triumph drew.
- Philip James Bailey, "A Fairy Tale".
