"LOVE IS THE ONLY BOW ON LIFE'S DARK
CLOUD. IT IS THE MORNING AND THE EVEN-
ING STAR. IT SHINES UPON THE BABE AND
SHEDS ITS RADIANCE ON THE QUIET TOMB.
IT IS THE MOTHER OF ART, INSPIRER OF POET,
PATRIOT AND PHILOSOPHER. IT IS THE AIR AND
LIGHT TO TIRED SOULS - BUILDER OF EVERY
HOME, KINDLER OF EVERY FIRE, ON EVERY
HEARTH. IT WAS THE FIRST TO DREAM OF IM-
MORTALITY. IT FILLS THE WORLD WITH
MELODY - FOR MUSIC IS THE VOICE OF LOVE.
LOVE IS THE MAGICIAN, THE ENCHANTER, THAT
CHANGES WORTHLESS THINGS TO JOY, AND
MAKES RIGHT ROYAL KINGS AND QUEENS OF
COMMON CLAY. IT IS THE PERFUME OF THAT
WONDROUS FLOWER, THE HEART, AND WITHOUT
THAT SACRED PASSION, THAT DIVINE SWOON,
WE ARE LESS THAN BEASTS; BUT WITH IT,
EARTH IS HEAVEN, AND WE ARE GODS."
Note: The quotation is from Robert Green Ingersoll.
