I am a lover.

Some words by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay on Love:

"And what fastens attention, in the intercourse of life, like any passage betraying affection between two parties? Perhaps we never saw them before, and never shall meet them again. But we see them exchange a glance, or betray a deep emotion, and we are no longer strangers. We understand them, and take the warmest interest in the development of the romance. All mankind love a lover."

"For persons are love's world."

"In the noon and afternoon of life we still throb at the recollection of days when happiness was not happy enough, but must be drugged with the relish of pain and fear; for he touched the secret matter, who said of love,-

          'All other pleasures are not worth its pains';"

"The world rolls; the circumstances vary every hour."

"The soul may be trusted to the end."
