QUOTE : <p>At our age the imagination<br /><br /> across the sorry facts<br /><br /> lifts us<br /><br />to make roses<br /><br /> stand before thorns.<br /><br /> Sure<br /><br />love is cruel<br /><br /> and selfish<br /><br /> and totally obtuse—<br /><br />at least, blinded by the light,<br /><br /> young love is.<br /><br /> But we are older,<br /><br />I to love<br /><br /> and you to be loved,<br /> we have,<br /><br />no matter how,<br /><br /> by our wills survived<br /> to keep<br />the jeweled prize<br /> always<br /> at our finger tips.<br />We will it so<br /> and so it is<br /> past all accident.</p><br /><br /><p> from “Journey to Love</p>
