And all the winds go sighing, for sweet things dying.
Christina Rossetti – [Death and Dying]
Be the green grass above me, with showers and dewdrops wet; and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget.

Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.

Obedience is the fruit of faith.

She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.

Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
