"'We’re special. Put together by good forces in the world and being in love like this is our real and actual job in life, everything else just maintenance. This love makes it okay to be stuck here on earth; makes it okay that these
routines and aches and obligations are life and that’s just it; makes you open your eyes and see every little bliss a moment has to offer'." — 8 hours, 19 min ago

“I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow;
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.”

“The dove descending breaks the air
With flame of incandescent terror
Of which the tongues declare
The one discharge from sin and error.
The only hope, or else despair
Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre-
To be redeemed from fire by fire.
Who then devised the torment? Love.
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.”
