Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
Robert Southey
Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. As the beams to a house, as the bones to the microcosm of man, so is order to all things.
Robert Southey
