Old Love Quotes

• I who all the Winter through,
  Cherished other loves than you
  And kept hands with hoary policy in marriage-bed and pew;
  Now I know the false and true,
  For the earnest sun looks through,
  And my old love comes to meet me in the dawning and the dew.

  Robert Louis Stevenson
