I Give You My Heart

  Photograph showing the Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh, India  

The gifts of love are written on the landscape in grand and humble ways from ancient times to modern. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, built the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, for his Persian wife Semiramis, and the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan gave us the Taj Mahal in memory of his beloved. Lovers carve their names in trees and stone and the name of Cupid is attached to towns and villages in the ancient world, Europe, and North America.
