Our last impression of her as she turned the corner was that smile, flung backward like a handful of flowers.  Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

Anne Bradstreet, Photography, Poetry, To my Dear and Loving Husband, Writing

© Carole Morey

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
from To My Dear And Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet

You are adored still and forevermore….

If Love Should Come, Love, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Photography, Poetry, Writing

Woman contemplating National Gallery

National Gallery, London

If love should come,
Against him would I dare to bar the door,
And, unregretful, bid him come no more?
from the poem If Love Should Come by Lucy Maud Montgomery 

Love is welcome at my door.

Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
from Love Is Not All by Edna St. Vincent Millay 

Hold me, kiss me, love me…

Lie still, lie still my breaking heart;
My silent heart, lie still and break:
Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed
For a dream’s sake.

No trumpet sounds before him,
No silver bugles blow,
And skies are radiant o’er him,
And stars to light him glow.
