Part 83 (2/2)

Where you are not appreciated, you cannot be loved

1159

When people fall in love at first sight, they often live to regret that they didn't take another look

1160

”I'o above you; Because”--the brown eyes lower fell-- ”Because, you see, I love you!”

--_John Greenleaf Whittier_

1161

Where there is love, all things interest; where there is indifference, minute details are tedious, disbelief is cherished, and trifles are apt to be thought contemptible

1162

If he loves me, the merit is not mine; my fault will be if he ceases

1163

LOVE

To a s: it wounds sos of tenderness--it blasts so; he hts in the whirl of varied occupation, or e into the tide of pleasure; or, if the scene of disappointment be too full of painful associations, he can shi+ft his abode at will, and taking, as it were, the wings of the , can ”fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, and be at rest”

But woman's is comparatively a fixed, a secluded and a meditative life

She is s; and if they are turned to ministers of sorrohere shall she look for consolation?

Her lot is to be wooed and won; and if unhappy in her love, her heart is her world--is like some fortress that has been captured, and sacked, and abandoned, and left desolate

Shall I confess it?--I believe in broken hearts, and the possibility of dying of disappointed love! I do not, however, consider it a malady often fatal to my own sex; but I firmly believe that it withers down rave So is it the nature of wos of wounded affection

--_Washi+ngton Irving_

1164

To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence
