February 14th with love dates back to ancient times.

In Greece the time between the middle of January and the middle of February was the time of the marriage of Zeus and Hera.
In Ancient Rome, the day of February 15th was Lupercalia, the festival of Lupercus, the god of fertility, who was represented as half-naked and dressed in goat skins.
The first recorded association of St. Valentine's Day with romantic love was in the 14th century in England and France, where February 14th was traditionally the day on which birds paired off to mate. Lovers exchanged notes on that day called each other their "Valentines". But the connection between St. Valentine and romantic love is not mentioned in any early histories and is seen as pure legends. There are several versions of these legends.
On the evening before St. Valentine was to be martyred for being a Christian, he passed a love note to his jailer's daughter which read, "From Your Valentine."
During a ban on marriages of Roman soldiers by the Emperor Claudius II, St. Valentine secretly helped arrange marriages.

it is a day for choosing sweethearts and exchanging

love - tokens. Generations of young people have considered St. Valentine to be the friend and patron of lovers and have sent gifts and hand-made valentines to their sweethearts. Valentine was a colourful card with a short love verse composed by the sender. Now thousands of ready–made valentines are sent through the post every year. They are complete with ready–made sentiments and decorations, brightly coloured and gilded, and sometimes perfumed and packed into a neat box.

been associated with romance since the days of knighthood

when a knight rode into battle with ribbon or scarf given him by his lady fair. The dictionary states that the word “Lace” comes from a Latin word meaning to “snare” (ловить) or “noose”(петля,аркан).

In Latin, the word Cupid means “desire”. Cupid is

typically represented as a chubby, naked, winged boy or youth with a mischievous (озорной) smile. He possessed a bow with a quiver of arrows by which he transfixed the hearts of youth and maidens. Cherubs (Херувим) are descendants of Cupid. They are depicted as lovable little winged creatures without arrows and quivers. Cherubs were typically not mischievous like Cupid.

virgin say
Birds choose their mates and couples too, this

day;
But by their flight I never can divine,
When I shall couple with my Valentine”
Herrick.



It was thought that birds chose their mate for the year on February 14. Doves and pigeons mate for life and therefore were used as a symbol of “fidelity”.

sort of homemade valentine which was a sort of

puzzle that receiver had to solve. Not only did she have to decipher the message but also to figure how to refold the paper once it was opened. The order of the verses was usually numbered, and the recipient had to twist the folds to determine what was being said.
Daguerreotype was popular from 1840 to the Civil war. An old –time tintype was found in centre of a card surrounded by an ornamented wreath. Another type was a “Mirror Valentine” which had a small mirror placed in the centre to reflect the happy face of receiver.

the burden of my song.

(Old Ballad)

Let those love now, who never loved before;
Let those who always loved, now love the more. (Anonymous)



And on his lover’s arm
she leant,
And round her waist he felt it fold,
And far across the hills they went
In that new world which is the old.
(Tennyson)

 

smooth. (William Shakespeare)

No man at one time

can be wise and love. (Robert Herrick)
Drink to me only with thine (устар. «cвой, свои; твой, твои») eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I’ll not look for wine.
(Ben Jonson)

I am not one of those who do not believe in love at
first sight,
But I believe in taking a second look.

(H. Vincent)
