THE LOVE WE GIVE AWAY

"The love we give away is the only love we keep."

- Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)

American writer and philosopher

LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY

The fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the Ocean;

The winds of Heaven mi for ever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single;

All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and mingle,

Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven

And the waves clasp one another;

No sister-flower would be forgiven

If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth

And the mountains kiss the sea -

What is all this sweet work worth 

If thou kiss not me?

- Percy Bysshe Shelley
