I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Sometimes it's better to put love into hugs than to put it into words. Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
The nature of a narrow and malevolent spirit is so essentially incompatible with happiness as to render it inaccessible to the influences of the benignant God.
