it may not always be so; and I say
that if your lips,which I have loved, should
touch another's, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as I know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be-
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that I may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall I turn my face, and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands.
unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home
...lovers alone wear sunlight.

For one human being to love another:
that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks;
the ultimate, the last test and proof,
the work for which all other work is but preparation.

Faults are thick where love is thin.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.

The first duty of love - is to listen.

The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud
is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Love is a great beautifier.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist`s palette,
which provides the meaning of life and art.
It is the color of love.
