Romance at Troynovant:
Sweetenings of Dating & Romantic Love,
Good & bad Relationships, Marriage;
listed by Title
Note that many fine romance novels, love stories, romantic poetry, films or stories with romantic interest and the like are not listed here unless the work or the review flirts with general ideas about romance as a literary genre, the romantic impulse in men and women, the nature of love or sex or marriage, and so on.
The waltz era gave us a great burst of romantic joy in its most classical musical expression. If the waltz perhaps is not quite the birth of gaiety from the spirit of music, certainly the waltz embodies, in its most beautiful form, the whirl of classical gaiety on the romantic dance floor.

Johann Strauss, Father and Son
A Century of Light Music

Biron:
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes,
Lives not alone immured in the brain,
But with the motion of all elements
Courses as swift as thought in every power,
And gives to every power a double power
Above their functions and their offices.It adds a precious seeing to the eye —
A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind.A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound
When the suspicious head of theft is stopped.Love's feeling is more soft and sensible
Than are the tender horns of cockled snails.Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste.
For valour, is not love a Hercules,
Still climbing trees in the Hesperides?William Shakespeare
Love's Labour's Lost, 4.3.301-315
