“The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain; to show them we love them not when we feel like it, but when they do.

LoveAs published
“Once Love grew bold and arrogant of air, Proud of the youth that made him fresh and fair; So unto Grief he spake, "What right hast thou To part or parcel of this heart?" Grief's brow Was darkened with the storm of inward strife; Thrice smote he Love as only he might dare, And Love, pride purged, was chastened all his life.
— Paul Laurence Dunbar
