for their religion--
I have shuddered at it,
I shudder no more.
I could be martyred for my religion.
Love is my religion
and I could die for that.
I could die for you.
My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.”

“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”

“One night as I walked in the desert
the mountains rode on my
shoulders
and the sky became my heart,
and the earth - my own body, I explored.
Every object began to wink at me, and Mira wisely
calculated the situation, thinking:
My charms must be at their height
now would be a good time to
rush into His
arms,
maybe He won't drop me
so quick.”
