Hence life, as through a cloud, for me I see Vanish, and to the past's dark shade 'tis chas'd As a grand image love remains to me-- Sole remnant of a dream, by morn effac'd.
Alphonse de Lamartine
To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The loss of a mother is always keenly felt, even if her health be such as to incapacitate her from taking an active part in the care of the family. She is the sweet rallying-point for affection, obedience, and a thousand tendernesses. Dreary the blank when she is withdrawn!
Alphonse de Lamartine
At twenty every one is republican.
