Here it is - the power of love! So different, but so real!

I teach English at a social center for the disabled and senior citizens. So before the start of the lesson, my elderly students fuss, open notebooks, put on glasses and hearing aids. And now an 81-year-old student, while tuning his hearing aid, said to his wife:

Tell me something.

I love you, ”she whispered.

What? - he twirled his device.

They were both embarrassed, and he kissed her softly on the cheek. I have to teach English, and I cry. Love exists!

I'm 32. They didn't sell the martini in the store (I didn't take my passport). The husband shouted across the hall: "Yes, sell it to my daughter, everything is fine."

My grandfather was very fond of borscht. And therefore, my grandmother cooked it all month, except for one day, when she cooked some kind of soup. And on this very day, after eating a bowl of soup, the grandfather said: “Of course, the soup is good, but, Petrovna, could you cook borscht tomorrow? I missed him madly. "

For 3 years of relationship, they gave me socks, SOCKS! The most common cheap socks! When I opened the “gift” with a suspicious face, something fell out of one and jumped under the sofa. Restraining righteous anger, I climbed after him, and there lies a beautiful wedding ring powdered with dust! I get out, look, and this miracle is kneeling with a blissful smile and says: "Dobby wants to have a master!"

My aunt has three children. It so happened that middle child has been sick for 4 years, part of the brain has been removed. Constant resuscitation, expensive medications. In general, you will not wish on the enemy. The eldest, 6 years old, has a dream to have hair up to her toes. They never cut their hair, did not even allow the ends - hysterics right away. Her class teacher calls, says she didn’t come to the last lesson. It turned out that instead of a lesson, she asked some high school student to cut her hair in order to sell her hair and buy medicine for the younger one.

From the moment the newborn daughter began to utter the first sounds, I secretly taught my wife to say the word "mother" so that this word was her first uttered. And then the other day I came home earlier than usual, and no one heard me. I go into the room with my wife and child, and my wife secretly teaches my daughter to pronounce the word "dad" ...

Today I asked my husband why he no longer says that he loves me. He replied that after I crashed his car, the very fact that I am still healthy and live in his house is already proof of his ardent love.

How interesting fortune works: on the bus I came across a lucky ticket, I ate it, and ten hours later with poisoning I got to the hospital, where I met my whole life.

When I went to school, my mother always woke me up in the morning. Now I am studying in another city several thousand kilometers away, I have to go to school by 8:30, and my mother has to work by 10, but every morning she calls me at 7 in the morning and wishes good morning... Take care of your mothers: they are the most valuable thing you have.

Recently, I often hear from others: “love has passed,” “he is not who he was before,” “she has changed” ... My great-grandmother said: imagine your soul mate sick and helpless. Illness removes beauty from a person, and helplessness reveals real feelings. You will be able to take care of day and night, spoon-feed and clean up after him, receiving in return only a feeling of gratitude - this is love, and everything else is children's whims.

At friends' dacha, the door to the house slams shut. At night I wanted to smoke - I quietly went out into the street when everyone was already asleep. I come back - the door is closed. And exactly a minute later, my girlfriend came out into the street, who felt that something was wrong, woke up and went to look for me. Here it is - the power of love!

She worked in a shop with chocolate products (figurines, etc.). A boy of 10-11 years old came in. In the hands of a pencil case. And then he says: “Is there anything more than 300 rubles? This is for mom. " I gave him a set and he poured a bunch of coins onto the table. And pennies, and rubles ... We sat, counted 15 minutes, so nice! Mom was very lucky with such a son: probably the last money, but he spends on chocolate for mom.

Once I saw how one old man got acquainted with one old woman at a bus stop. At first he looked at her for a long, long time, and then he plucked several branches of lilac, went up to this grandmother and said: “This lilac is as beautiful as you are. My name is Ivan". It was so sweet. He has a lot to learn.

A story told by my girlfriend.

She went to the store today with her younger brother (he is 2 years old). He saw a girl, about 3 years old. He grabbed her hand and pulled her along. The girl was in tears, and her father was not at a loss and said: "Get used to it, daughter, boys always show their love in a strange way."

When I told my mother about a girl I like, she always asked two questions: "What color are her eyes?" and "What kind of ice cream does she like?" I am already 40, and my mother died a long time ago, but I still remember that she had green eyes and she loved a glass of chocolate chips, like my wife.

Recently, a peer husband happily reported:"Here all the familiar men have found young girls for themselves, and I love my old woman." I'm only 29.

My husband has never been a romantic, but for my sake he promised to become more romantic. Once, after a phone call, I jumped up and got dressed, going to run out of the apartment. To the question: "Where are you going?", He replied that it was a surprise. To celebrate, I began to smarten up, I sit waiting, in some century my husband decided to make a surprise. After a while, my husband runs in with a box on his back, calls me over to him and gives me a gift with a Cheshire smile. Holding my breath, I read the inscription on the box: "Sanitary napkins. 232 pieces."
This is a gift!

Quarreled with a young man walked beside him, gloomy and dejected. After a long silence, he suddenly turns to me, picks it up and starts tossing me lightly, and with such a concentrated look that it was impossible not to laugh) Putting me laughing on the ground, he continued to walk on without a word, and to my question about what it was, he replied, "I shook a smile out of you." Now whenever I frown, he comes up and shakes a smile out of me.

Separated from his wife. Much time has passed, but most of all I miss our heart-to-heart conversations in the kitchen in the evenings under a bottle of wine. She talked about her work, shared her experiences, and I sat opposite and was just glad that I have it.

Divorced, it became lonely. Sometimes I met on the Internet. So I went on a date. The girl is very beautiful, radiant eyes, good sense of humor, figure. We walked, sat in a restaurant, chatted. She talked about her first marriage, her husband left her with a little daughter, she has Down syndrome. “I’ll understand if this is an obstacle for you,” she said. I myself did not know if it was an obstacle until I met her daughter. Tomorrow our marriage is three years old, I adore both of my girls, and let the relatives twist their fingers to their temples.

My parents' story: Dad's neighbor offered to introduce him to a single woman from her work. They saw each other once, ate potatoes at mom's in the kitchen. In the next meeting, my father helped my mother collect things, took her to his home, introduced her to his parents with the words: "Meet my wife!" Mom was frightened by his decisiveness, but did not leave. Together for 22 years, they confess their love to each other and kiss every minute. Dad says, from the first second he realized that mom is his half.

It's always good for me to see as in couples who have been together for 20 years, there is still romance. So once, the godmother told how, having come home earlier than expected, she heard her husband's voice from the bedroom: "Oh, she won't like this ... what do you think she will say when she finds out ... She will kick us out together ..."
Being a very jealous person, she rushed into the room and saw her husband with ... a kitten.
- Honey, remember you said that in childhood you dreamed of a kitten?
Now they have a wonderful cat in their family.

We have four children, we accidentally went two times two. And the wife has a secret place where she sometimes hides from outside world together with the cat - in the closet. I specifically bought her a huge sliding wardrobe, where she set up a nook for herself with a lamp, pillows and a coffee stand. Now my beloved was admitted to the hospital for all sorts of procedures, and with grief I laid the children in half, I sit in her closet with the cat, inhale my favorite smell and miss like a kid ...

My beloved man is a surgeon. And it just so happened that he performed an operation on me. After this action, he comes to me, barely lying on the bed, into the ward, sits down next to me and says: "Darling, you even have cute guts." I almost died there from emotion.

My grandparents lived together for about 40 years. For the last 10 years, while he was alive, I watched them chat until 7 in the morning about everything. Just sharing thoughts and remembering something, holding hands. From retirement, he brought her chocolates, ice cream and flowers, and she told him every, EVERY day how much she loved him.

The current shows, which appear in hundreds on the TV screen, do not hold a candle to real life, even if these shows are called "reality". Their connection with reality is minimal, because real life surpasses everything that is artificially created for TV by an order of magnitude. In a series of articles about the most famous love stories, I propose to recall the happiest and at the same time unhappy people, known not only for wealth, power, the ability to do what others are incapable of, but also for the ability to love like no other. This is the first part of the collection.

1. Cleopatra and Mark Antony

This is, without a doubt, the most famous love story, played repeatedly in plays and films. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was a very charismatic woman with a charming voice (contemporaries say nothing about her beauty). She constantly fought for the right to be considered the ruler of her country with her own relatives, and in order to finally establish herself as the queen of Egypt, she was forced to look for a patron, and found him in the person of 52-year-old Gaius Julius Caesar. 21-year-old Cleopatra was able to conquer the great conqueror, and became Caesar's mistress. He was already married, but this did not stop him from taking Cleopatra with him to Rome, along with their common son Caesarion. The Romans were quite worried about the fact that Caesarion could become the heir to the great Caesar. But it did not come to that - Caesar, as we all know, was stabbed to death at the next session of the Senate.

Cleopatra returned to Egypt, where she learned about the formation of the next ruler of Rome. She decided to seduce him, and to implement her plan, she sailed to Tarsus (present-day Turkey) on a special ship. All in all, Mark Antony fell in love with Cleopatra, and soon after they became lovers, Cleopatra brought Antony two twins.

The end of the relationship, as well as the lives of both lovers, was put by the confrontation between Mark Antony and Octavian, Caesar's nephew (Antony, by the way, was married to Octavian's sister, but left her for Cleopatra). Mark Antony returned to Rome, quarreled with Octavian, and the war began, which ended with the complete defeat of the combined forces of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. After Octavian's troops entered Egypt, Cleopatra hid in the mausoleum, and Antony was told that she had committed suicide. Mark Antony, without hesitation, threw himself on the sword, and died in the arms of his beloved. Cleopatra, on the other hand, killed herself after she learned that she would be taken through the streets of Rome in a cart, as a symbol of defeated Egypt.

2. Catherine the Great and Grigory Potemkin

In 1761, Catherine the Great was not yet Great, she was just the wife of the not very wise Tsar Peter III. Just a year later, he was stripped of power (not without the help of Catherine) and killed (maybe Catherine herself sent the killers, there is such an option). After that, a prominent military man, Grigory Potemkin, became the guardian of the life and peace of the queen.

She was never indifferent to male beauty and strong character, and fell in love with Potemkin without memory, showering him with money and honors. To the latter's credit, Potemkin really began to faithfully serve his queen. Catherine, being a very strong-willed woman, loved Potemkin so much that she even wrote him tender love letters, which she almost never did. Potemkin and Catherine, according to some sources, even got married, although the fact of the wedding is questioned by many historians. The wedding took place in 1774 in the Church of the Ascension, which has not survived to our time.

Catherine and Potemkin eventually became just associates, but Catherine, until the end of her days, experienced very warm feelings for her secret husband. After his death at the age of 52, she became discouraged, and was almost constantly depressed.

3. Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine

In the fall of 1795, Josephine, who was in her 40s, meets with Napoleon, who has just turned 26 years old. He seemed to him to be a very graceful and graceful lady, noble and even somewhat proud. Perhaps the success was further enhanced by the fact that Josephine was able to play the role of supplicant perfectly.

In general, Napolene and Josephine got engaged, and they did it at a time when no one could ever suspect dizzying career Napoleon. By the way, when he goes on long hikes, she goes headlong into love affairs.

In spite of everything, Napoleon worships his wife, and his joy is overshadowed by only one fact - Josephine cannot get pregnant. In the end, Napoleon breaks the bonds of marriage, although he does not stop loving his Josephine. She was the only person to whom the prisoner of St. Helena spoke in his dying delirium. He saw no flaws in his "goddess", and kept his love until his death.

4. Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna

Young Nicholas II, the future Tsar of Russia, fell in love with the German princess Alexandra as soon as he saw her. Despite all the strict moral laws of that time, which were even more stringent in relation to royal persons, Nikolai and Alexandra began to often appear in public together.

The future Tsar and Alexandra Feodorovna were engaged in 1893. Soon after this, Nikolai's father died, and, a couple of days later, Nikolai II became the tsar of all Russia. Their love continued until the idyll was broken by the uprising of workers and peasants, plus Grigory Rasputin appeared on the horizon.

Be that as it may, on July 16, 1918, the entire royal family was destroyed by the Bolsheviks. People died, but their love story remained.

5. Charles Lindbergh and Anna Spencer Morrow

Charles Lindbergh became famous in 1927 after he crossed the Atlantic Ocean... A year later, while traveling in Latin America, he met his future wife, Anna Spencer Morrow, daughter of the US Ambassador to Mexico.

Their relationship attracted worldwide attention, and just a year later, Charles Lindbergh and Anna Morrow became husband and wife. Soon after, Charles and Anna began to fly together, conquering the skies. They set a world speed record between Los Angeles and New York in 1930, with Anna already seven months pregnant.

Both were not only skilled pilots, but also wrote books, becoming the authors of as many as 13 books. Unfortunately, the bright life of both was overshadowed by the kidnapping and murder of the Lindberghs' son in 1932. In spite of everything, the Lindebrgs are considered one of the most romantic couples who really lived in perfect harmony, as they say.

Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, takes deep roots into our whole being and often continues to turn green and bloom
even on the ruins of our heart.
Victor Hugo

On the eve of the coming spring, let's talk about the most famous love stories of the most worthy people.

Romeo and Juliet - eternal love

"There is no story sadder in the world than the story of Romeo and Juliet ..." Why the great love of these two children by our standards (Juliet was 13, her beloved Romeo is two or three years older) has become a symbol of love of all times and peoples. What is the power and strength of this feeling of a river that is not subject to time?

It is possible that it is sung in the wonderful syllable of the great playwright William Shakespeare, or maybe because love was a victim of the eternal showdowns of adults, the voluntary death of the heroes made the crowd shudder and melted the enmity of the hearts of the warring families of Montagues and Capulet ... Who knows ...

And although the reliability of the events described in the tragedy is not confirmed, but who will doubt the reality of the story, because the names Romeo and Juliet have become common nouns of beautiful faithful love, and to this day cause delight and admiration for two young hearts.

The love story of Odysseus and Penelope

Another no less famous love story from antiquity of centuries, sung by the ancient Greek - the great Homer. It is based on the marital relationship of Odysseus and his wife Penelope - an example of a rare sacrifice in the name of love and a woman's ability to wait in spite of everything ...

Odysseus, as a true warrior, after the wedding leaves his young wife and goes to war.

Penelope waited for his return for a long twenty years, one raised her son and during this time rejected the marriage proposals of 108 men who, referring to the death of her husband, sought to take his place.

No less faithful was Penelope and Odysseus, in their sea battles, trials and wanderings, keeping faithfulness and chastity to his wife. So, having met a beautiful sorceress who tried to seduce him and offered eternal youth in exchange for love for her, the hero of Hellas resisted the temptation. And the unfading light of the distant love of his Penelope helped him in that. And only 20 years later, loving hearts were reunited in spite of all adversity.

Love To King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson

But already completely modern history love worthy of talking about it.

In 1930, the Palace of Windsor in Great Britain stunned the world with burning news: the heir to the royal throne, Edward VIII, abdicated. The reason was the love for a young American woman and, moreover, a married woman, Wallis Simpson, far from being of royal blood.

The royal court was indignant and presented the heir with a choice: either power or love for a commoner. Edward VIII, without hesitation, preferred a fiery love for a woman.

After divorcing their first husband, Walisse and Edward got married and lived for thirty-five years away from their homeland, keeping their love so dear to them.

"Love never dies," wrote 84-year-old Wallis after the death of her husband. "She changes her course, it becomes softer and wider ... Love is work. Women should bring their wisdom to the altar of family happiness ..."

Alexander Griboyedov and Nina Chavchavadze love story

This worthy love of our compatriot writer Griboyedov for his wife: fleeting happiness in several months and 30 years of mourning, as a symbol of loyalty and eternal love of a Georgian woman to a Russian writer.

Alexander Griboyedov, 33, as ambassador Russian empire, was sent to Persia. On the way, he visited the house of his longtime friend, Prince Alexander Chavchavadze. And from the first minutes his heart was conquered by the daughter of the owner of the house - fifteen-year-old beauty Nina. And the young princess could not resist the great feeling of the avalanche for the Russian writer: “How it burned with a sunbeam!” She confessed to her friend.

Having got married in the fall, the young went to Persia, and in January of the following year, 1829, Alexander was brutally killed by a crowd of Islamic fanatics. So short was the moment of captivating love.

Nina Chavchavadze-Griboyedova never married again and for almost 30 years, until the end of her days, she did not take off her mourning. “The black rose of Tiflis” - as they called her in the city, she wrote on her husband's tombstone:

"Your mind and deeds are immortal in Russian memory, but why has my love survived you?"

The graves of the Griboyedovs are located nearby, in the city pantheon of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

You can enumerate and enumerate beautiful stories as a triumph of great love. It's easy to love someone who shares feelings with you. Where does love come from and what feeds when it is not divided, and sometimes rejected? However, this does not make the feeling weaker, but perhaps on the contrary, even more piercing and tremendous in its strength.

Elbert Einstein and Margarita Konenkova

The story of this unusual relationship is not a romantically filled hymn of devoted love, it is interesting only because the only love of a genius scientist that broke his heart was manifested in it.

Einstein fell in love with Margarita Konenkova (nee Vorontsova), the wife of a famous Russian sculptor, at the age of 56, as soon as he saw her. How young Margarita did not look like his clumsy wife Elsa with a blurry figure and an exhausted face, whom he never loved, like his first wife, Mileva, a Serb! And here a chiseled waist, beautiful breasts, graceful position of hands - in order to preserve this beauty, the woman refused to give birth to children. The sculptor husband adored and idolized her and silently accepted her decision.

Konenkov is a sculptor and his muse-wife Margarita Konenkova.

At first, Margarita treated Einstein as another fun, accustomed to constant betrayal of her husband with other men, she prepared for another flirtation. But she soon realized that her icy heart was beginning to melt from hitherto unknown fiery feelings for the great genius.

A year later, Einstein's wife, Elsa, dies, the marriage shackles no longer fetter his love for Margot. Both do not even try to hide her frequent visits to the mansion to the scientist at Princeton. And only Margarita's husband does not seem to notice anything or pretends not to notice .... He is afraid of losing his Margarita - muse and inspiration. And her caresses and tenderness were enough for many ... Incredibly talented, intelligent, beautiful, she, like a lioness, easily conquered all new hearts, becoming the bohemian of America.

This relationship for three lasted a long time. Communicating, Margarita not only truly loved the founder of the theory of relativity, but also her homeland, the USSR, she carried out the tasks of the NKVD and squeezed out all the secrets of developing atomic bomb... When Einstein found out about this, he could not even yell at his beloved, he just went to the FBI to ask for mercy for his beloved and helped her return to her homeland.

V last years before parting Margarita and Albert.

Upon the return of the Konenkov family to the USSR, the love relationship ended. From that moment on, life for Einstein lost all meaning. He flatly refused to comply with the doctors' orders for heart surgery, which was no longer able to withstand the cruel ending of separation.

Moreover, the authorities banned Margaret's correspondence with Einstein, which caused incredible suffering for Albert. He wrote to her for the remaining years, but did not even have the opportunity to send letters. Even dying, 76-year-old Einstein could not send a farewell letter to his only beloved, with love in his heart to which he left this world.

Without being particularly tormented, Margarita accepted the news of the death of her distant friend, although she was far from indifferent to him. Soon her husband, a sculptor, also died, and fate in her declining years treated her incredibly cruelly. Aged, unkempt, she lived in oblivion in her house-workshop, often falling into oblivion. Only memories of a vivid, unique love for a man with forever disheveled hair and a thick mustache caused her joy ... She was dying of hunger, there was no one next to her except the impudent and cruel housekeeper who had become the mistress here ...

In 1980, in the center of prosperous Moscow, the body of a once emaciated woman was taken out of a dirty apartment. beautiful woman, on whose hand the last minutes of a golden watch were tapped - a gift from the Great Einstein. He put them on with his own hand at parting on the wrist of the woman most dear to him.

Ivan Turgenev and Pauline Viardot

The great Russian writer Ivan Turgenev and the famous opera diva of Spanish origin “with a French conscience and spirit,” as the newspapers of those times called her, Pauline Viardot-Garcia, is a vivid example of the dramatic love full of suffering throughout the writer's life. Their relationship can rather be characterized as follows: one loved, the other only allowed himself to be loved ... but there is no doubt that the friendship was sincere and strong.

In the outwardly inconspicuous, slightly stooped woman with bulging eyes, there really was something rude, gypsy, inherited from her Spaniard father, singer Manuel Garcia. But according to contemporaries, as soon as the first notes broke from her voice, a spark ran through the audience, ecstasy swept the listeners, and the appearance of the singer herself no longer mattered. Fascinated by the voice of the performer, people fell into a kind of prostration, and there could not be among them indifferent to this person.

Intoxicated at the first meeting by the enchanting voice of Polina, the Russian writer lost his head, and he experienced a similar state for four whole decades until the last days of his life.

Viardot, being married to a man 20 years older than herself, felt only warm sympathy for Turgenev, a community of views and interests, a unity of spirit attracted him, and then she completely brought him closer to her, introduced him to her house as a friend, a family member , beloved….

Pauline Viardot-Garcia not only illuminated the writer's soul with love, became his muse for many years, inspired him to work, helped him with translations into French, honing his style, but until his last days was by his side, dying of cancer far from his homeland. And Ivan Turgenev chose to love with unrequited love and be with her all his life, never having his family and children.

Poor artist Niko Pirosmani and French actress Margarita

Ah, again Margarita ...

"A million, a million scarlet roses ..." - who does not know the chorus of this song about the incredibly piercing and unrequited love of a poor artist for a visiting actress. It is also based on real events... Niko Pirosmani is a Georgian artist from a simple family, who lost his parents early, in constant need, he did not even have the opportunity to buy canvases, and he placed all his creations on the walls, boards, on the table oilcloth. Often he made his living by signboards for drinking establishments.

Beautiful French actress Margarita visited on tour provincial town, in which Niko lived and worked, and at the same time the heart of an aspiring artist. Pirosmani fell in love with her passionately, from the first minutes, with all his gut, but, unfortunately, this love did not evoke a reciprocal feeling. The poor artist's heart was burning in a flame of passion.

On his birthday (it was spring) Niko Pirosmani filled several arb with fresh flowers and fitted them to the windows of the house where Margarita was staying. Armfuls of lilacs, white acacia and snow-white roses (not scarlet) filled the streets of Tiflis with an incomprehensible aroma and laid down on the square with a thick floral blanket. It remained a mystery where the artist got these flowers ...

Margarita's heart, touched by the spectacle, trembled, she went out, kissed Niko and that's it ... The next day, the actress left the city forever. They did not see each other again ...

Nikola Pirosmanishvili did not become a great artist during his lifetime, his direction of primitivism in painting was not understood, he died at the age of 56, in complete poverty, until his last days, keeping in his heart the image of his beloved Margarita ... The artist's works are kept in museums around the world.

Love - great power, capable of transforming the whole world, making a person better, stronger, higher, she is not subject to time. According to Turgenev:

"Only by her, only by love does life hold and move."

And let her, at least once in her life, scorch your wings with her flame! And may you be lucky in love!
