“You swore you loved me, and laughed and warned me that you would not love me forever. I did not hear you. You were speaking in a language I did not understand. Never, never, I can conceive of a love which is able to foresee its own termination. Love is its own eternity. Love is in every moment of its being: all time. It is the only glimpse we are permitted of what eternity is. So I did not hear you. The words were nonsense.”
“Salvation ... has its eternal foundation in the love of God.”
“Even the snow melts, let alone the frugal regards of a soul confident in its own eternity.”
“Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life.”
“He thought that the rose was to be found in its own eternity and not in his words; and that we may mention or allude to a thing, but not express it.”
