• You know what I am going to say. I love you. What other men may mean when they use that expression, I cannot tell. What I mean is that I am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which I have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me.

Our love makes earth a paradise to Him; and our souls lure Him as gold lures the miser, with irresistible fascination
