*Corny fake brogue*
My love is like a bloody nose
That drips upon the floor
How ever sweet her countenance
Inside she's guts and gore

Perhaps it was more than whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.

I hate and yet I love. Why I do this, you might ask?
I do not know, but I feel it happening, and I am tormented.

Or did you mean Pliny? Younger or Older?
In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.
Pliny the Elder
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.

Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine? -
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
