Je ne sais; mais plus on aime, moins on se fie au sentiment que l'on inspire; et quelle que soit la cause qui nous assure la présence de l'objet qui nous est cher, on l'accepte toujours avec joie.

Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.

The mind may be exhausted, but the language of the heart is inexhaustible.

However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness. Winter has some cloudless days, and under the snow a few flowers still bloom.
