"God knows the common run of insignificant and yet painstakingly collected and painstakingly hoarded trifles which either immediately or, equally tragic, after a long time give us human beings occasion to complain, each one of the other, about self-interest, disloyalty, and treachery."  Soren Kierkegaard, Works of Love

newness and promise

"The first moment of entrance, like that of love's, is always one of newness and promise."
Robert Finch in The Outer Beach

"This as it will be seen is other for

Than with brooks taken otherwhere in song.
We love the things we love for what they are."
Robert Frost, "Hyla Brook"

Oh where oh where has my Lemuel gone? Oh where, oh where can he be?
