Grief, originally uploaded by Davidlind.

In my Lucia’s absence
Life hangs upon me, and becomes a burden;
I am ten times undone, while hope, and fear,
And grief, and rage and love rise up at once,
And with variety of pain distract me.
~Joseph Addison

A wonderful bird is the pelican

His bill will hold more than his belican.

He can take in his beak

Food enough for a week,

But I’m damned if I see how the helican.

~Dixon Lanier Merritt

O! for a horse with wings! ~William Shakespeare, Cymbeline

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. ~William Shakespeare

My bounty is as deep as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, both are infinite.

~William Shakespeare

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. ~William Shakespeare
