Do you dare?

"The young heart that says 'no' to love,
Saves himself from the ignonimity of defeat;
but forsakes the honour of ever wearing the golden crown."

And so, LOVE, and love bravely.

-Frank Swettenham

'I cannot love thee as I ought,
For love reflects the thing beloved
My words are only words,
They float upon the topmost froth of thought

'Yet blame not thou, thy plaintive song,
The Spirit of True Love replied
Thou canst not move me from thy side,
Nor human frailty do me wrong'.

-Tennyson, In Memoriam
