St Valentine

Mary and Robert Frank photographed by Elliot Erwitt
Valencia, Spain 1952

This is the most romantic photograph I know.

"Il fallait bien qu'un visage
Réponde à tous les noms du monde"

Paul Éluard, "XXIX", L'Amour, La Poésie

These are two of the most romantic lines I know, from a collection of poems that Paul Éluard wrote to his wife, Gala, who later left him for Dali.

About Alice
Calvin Trillin's celebration of his wife Alice, which he wrote after she died of cancer in 2001, is the most beautiful testament of love I've ever read.
