without brightening our own. "

Could love you for yourself alone

And not your yellow hair.”

“Life is no brief candle to me.

 It is a sort of splendid torch

 which I have got a hold of 

for the moment,

 and I want to make it burn

 as brightly as possible

 before handing it on

to future generations.”

 George Bernard Shaw

Together

we walk;

we talk

you & I

How jolly!

walking together

You & I.
