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.
Whatever 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.
Excerpt from "The Good Morrow" by John Donne
~ Isolde, reading to Tristan
I don’t know if life is greater than death, but love was more than either.~Tristan’s dying words

awww...i love tristan and isolde!!!
yeeeeaaaaa. the wifey keeps asking me to rent this movie so she can finally watch it.
But after reading these quotes... it sounds pretty bad. borderline unbearable. Might have to pass on that one.
oh my god! i just watched this movie today. Even though I had absolutely no clue what most of what the people were saying during most of the movies, i still LOVED it! The only reason i rented it was because of JAMES FRANCO<3 i probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise!=]
I watched the movie today for the first time. I had heard that it was a good movie, and it WAS! It's not like the regular romantic love movies (stories) it has it's good times and it's bad times, but at the same time everything turns out the way it should be. It is the perfect "Romeo && Juliet" of those times. WATCH IT!! :)
i looove this movie... my boyfriend is really hard to please when it comes to movies... we are talking really hard.. and he actually liked this movie... its a great couple movie
I loved this movie...it was great after the movie was over I swear half the movie theater was in tears. And James Franco and his watery eyes to die for.
You should cite this properly as the third stanza from "The Good Morrow" by John Donne. It wasn't something simply made up by the script writers for that movie.
chad, you're gay. Tristan and Isolde was the best movie ever and i LOVED it.
The last scene made me cry :(
Love is as strong as death. Why be capable of feelings if we're not to have them? Why long for things if they're not meant to be ours?
Wonderfull full touching movie full of human dilemmas and classic life emotions...simply brilliant, a must see for anyone who loves life and the thrills of being human....
Brilliant !
love that movie! good quotes!
This is an amazing film...i wached it over 8 times,actually i bought it, and i don't bother seeing it again! A true love story.... The Greatest love is the love that can't be... If you love...love then watch it....i cry every time...and James franko.... I adore him....
