Valentine's Day Season

"Si tu m’aimes, — garde ton sourire.
Aime-moi sans te souvenir,
Sans calculer, sans rien me dire
De tes promesses à venir.

Si tu m’aimes, — aime-moi sans doute,
Sans me demander chaque jour
Si mon cœur est dans la même route
Que ton rêve et que ton amour.

Si tu m’aimes, — aime-moi sans crainte,
Comme on aime ce qui demeure ;
Aime-moi d’une foi sans plainte,
D’un amour calme, à toute heure.

Aime-moi comme on aime à jamais,
Sans lien, sans serment, sans loi ;
Aime-moi sans savoir pourquoi,
Et je t’aimerai comme on ne sait."

~ Si tu m’aimes ! Unknown author

English Translation:

If you love me — keep your smile.
Love me without remembering,
Without calculating, without telling me
Of promises still to come.

If you love me — love me without doubt,
Without asking me each day
If my heart walks the same road
As your dream and as your love.

If you love me — love me without fear,
As one loves what endures;
Love me with a faith without complaint,
With a calm love, at every hour.

Love me as one loves forever,
Without bond, without oath, without law;
Love me without knowing why,
And I shall love you beyond knowing.

The tartan the Weave of Love, also known as Le Tissage de l’Amour, is intended to embody passion, devotion, and eternity. Inspired by Celtic knotwork, its structure symbolises the unbreakable bond of love, interwoven with the spirit of the ancient Triquetra and the Celtic Love Knot.

The geometry is designed to represent two hearts. One, formed in red and white, embodies passion and commitment. The other, in deep purple and navy, reflects quiet devotion and infinite depth. A bridge of purple threads unites the two, symbolising two souls meeting, carefully positioned to create balance between the twin pivots.

Rooted in Scottish heritage, the tartan’s French name evokes romance while subtly nodding to the historic Auld Alliance. Whether worn to honour new love or as a quiet tribute to love that endures, Weave of Love is intended for all who seek a tartan devoted to pure love. 💜 ❤️ 🤍 💙 💌 💕

Love has been one of the central subjects of poetry for as long as poetry has existed. In the earliest surviving literature, such as the ancient Sumerian love songs (c. 2000 BCE) and the biblical Song of Songs, love appears as both earthly and sacred—sensual, celebratory, and symbolic. 


For the Greeks, love poetry took many forms: Sappho’s lyric fragments from the island of Lesbos (7th century BCE) captured the trembling immediacy of desire, while later poets such as Ovid in Rome explored love’s playful, manipulative, and sometimes destructive dimensions. From the beginning, poets understood that love could be both bliss and anguish, a force that exalts and unsettles in equal measure.


In the medieval period, the concept of “courtly love” reshaped poetic expression across Europe. Troubadours in southern France composed elaborate verses devoted to unattainable noblewomen, refining a language of devotion, longing, and idealized beauty. This tradition influenced Dante and Petrarch, whose sonnets to Beatrice and Laura helped formalize poetic conventions that endured for centuries. Love became spiritualized—elevated into a path toward moral or divine refinement—while still retaining its human ache.


The Renaissance and early modern periods deepened love’s poetic complexity. Shakespeare’s sonnets, for example, challenge the clichés of idealized beauty and instead probe jealousy, betrayal, time, and mortality. Love in these poems is not merely ornamented admiration but a test of endurance against change and decay. By the Romantic era, poets such as Byron, Keats, and Shelley entwined love with nature, imagination, and individual passion, often presenting it as transcendent yet fragile.


In modern poetry, love remains inexhaustible but more varied in voice and perspective. Twentieth-century poets explored love in domestic settings, in wartime separation, in same-sex relationships, and in the aftermath of loss. The subject has expanded to include self-love, political love, and love as resistance. Across centuries and cultures, love persists as poetry’s most enduring theme because it touches the most universal human experience: the longing to connect, to belong, and to be remembered.
