Thought of the Day

American poet Emily Dickenson wrote,
"Behold this little Bane --
"The Boon of all alive --
"As common as it is known
"The name of it is Love."

"Did You Never Know?"
by Sara Teasdale

Did you never know, long ago, how much you loved me --
That your love would never lessen and never go?
You were young then, proud and fresh-hearted,
You were too young to know.

Fate is a wind, and red leaves fly before it
Far apart, far away in the gusty time of year --
Seldom we meet now, but when I hear you speaking,
I know your secret, my dear, my dear.
