There is, in lovers, a certain infatuation of egotism they will have a witness of their happiness, cost that witness what it may.

I like to see flowers growing, but when they are gathered, they cease to please. I look on them as things rootless and perishable their likeness to life makes me sad. I never offer flowers to those I love I never wish to receive them from hands dear to me.
