In honor of Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, I thought I would do something a little different with the blog. Just some quotes:

"You may conquer with the sword, But you are conquered by a kiss" ~Daniel Heinsius

"Where there is great love , there are always miracles" ~Willa Cather

"Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes."~unknown

"The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know."~Pascal

"To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven"~Karen Sunde


Petals

Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
The end lost in dream,
They float past our view,
We only watch their glad, early start.

Freighted with hope,
Crimsoned with joy,
We scatter the leaves of our opening rose;
Their widening scope,
Their distant employ,
We never shall know. And the stream as it flows
Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone
Ever beyond into infinite ways.
We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.

Amy Lowell

Happy Valentine's day, to all our readers. Your love of the blog is the only reason we keep going.
