“ And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns. ”
Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.
~ Thomas Moore
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
No, there's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream.
What though youth gave love and roses, Age still leaves us friends and wine.
