A thousand heralds proclaim it to the
listening air, a thousand messengers betray it to the eye. Tone, act,
attitude and look, the signals upon the countenance, the electric
telegraph of touch,--all these betray the yielding citadel before the
word itself is uttered, which, like the key surrendered, opens every
avenue and gate of entrance, and renders retreat impossible.--LONGFELLOW.
Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much
as the two sides of an algebraic equation.--EMERSON.
If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and
repels the ministry of ill, it is human love.--N.P. WILLIS.
The first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity, in a girl
it is boldness. The two sexes have a tendency to approach, and each
assumes the qualities of the other.--VICTOR HUGO.
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and
the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume,
when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt;
there must be difficulty and danger.--WALTER SCOTT.
Love is of all stimulants the most powerful. It sharpens the wits like
danger, and the memory like hatred; it spurs the will like ambition;
it intoxicates like wine.--A.B. EDWARDS.
Let those love now who never loved before,
Let those that always loved now love the more.
--PARNELL.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
