“And what reservoir is more inexhaustible than the love of a
heart like hers?—a love born as naturally and unconsciously as
life itself—that, when discovered, changes existence by a sudden
kaleidoscopic turn, compelling all within and without to pass at once
into new arrangement and combination—that inspires heroic, patient
effort, self-denial, and even self-sacrifice.”
