“The seasons alter: hoary-headed frostsFall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.”
“Man is in love and loveswhat vanishes,What more is there to say?”

“It's sort of good to see your vocation as a daily task and have fairly modest expectations for financial or reward in other coin - glory, love, whatever.”
