I had a really incredible experience today at church with one of my friends, Kathy. She has a stunning solitaire and then an inherited wedding band from her husband's grandmother...still found on the inside is the inscription of their wedding date almost 100 years ago. Another inscription, a newer inscription, is also found there, "and so all yours". When I asked Kathy about it, she told me of a line in William Shakespear's
Merchant of Venice, I looked up the line after church, and found I loved it as much as she does. It explains how true love is, so I thought I would share it with you :)
"So may you miss me.
But if you do, you’ll make me wish a sin,
That I had been forsworn. Beshrew your eyes,
They have o'erlooked me and divided me.
One half of me is yours, the other half yours—
Mine own, I would say. But if mine, then yours,
And so all yours."
