Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is - Love, forgive us! - cinders, ashes, dust.
John Keats
Image
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
