Unravelled from the trembling main
And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
So many times do I love again.

Love often knows no measure,
but burns beyond all measure.

without excusing itself with impossibility,
because it believes that it may and can do all things.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
-C.S. LEWIS

“Love is trembling happiness.” - KAHLIL GIBRAN
