Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore,
That gently, o’er a perfumed sea,
The weary, way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
To Helen by Edgar Allan Poe
I wish I could savor the first blush of young love over and over again.

You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
Rolling Stones
We are just over a month away from Valentine’s Day. This year instead of being disappointed by all the romantic marks my Valentine does not hit on the Big Day, I am going to think about all the little things he does to demonstrate his love for me all year long. Things like changing a flat tire, lighting the pilot light on the wall heater of my new home, crawling under the foundation to check the plumbing, climbing up on the roof to fix the chimney flue, teaching me the finer points of power tools, driving me to visit my ailing parents a thousand miles away, and going along with my foreign film choices count for a lot. Maybe giving me what I need instead of what I want is the most romantic gift of all.

She walks in beauty,
Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Lord Byron

The lead photograph is reminiscent of David Bailey’s iconic work in the late 1960s, particularly with
Catherine Deneuve.
