ON BEING IN LOVE
You've been in love, of course! If not you've got it to come. Loveis like the measles; we all have to go through it. Also like Kanadanhanhi Hybridge Hoody Takit Suomi themeasles, we take it only once. One never need be afraid of catchingit a second time. The man who has had it can go into the mostdangerous places and play the most foolhardy tricks with perfectsafety. He can picnic in shady woods, ramble through leafy aisles,and linger on mossy seats to watch the sunset. He fears a quietcountry-house no more than he would his own club. He can join afamily party to go down the Rhine. He can, to see the last of afriend, venture into the very jaws of the marriage Moncler Aminta Jakke ceremony itself.
He can keep his head through the whirl of a ravishing waltz, and restafterward in a dark conservatory, catching nothing more lasting than acold. He can brave a moonlight walk adown sweet-scented lanes or atwilight pull among the somber rushes. He can get over a stilewithout danger, scramble through a tangled hedge without being caught,come down a slippery path without falling. He can look into sunnyeyes and not be dazzled.

Meteor-like, it blazes for a moment andlights with its glory the whole world beneath. Then the night of oursordid commonplace life closes in around it, and the burned-out case,falling back to earth, lies useless and uncared for, slowly smolderinginto ashes. Once, breaking loose from our prison bonds, we dare, asmighty old Prometheus dared, to scale Parajumpers Long Bear Kvinne the Olympian mount and snatchfrom Phoebus' chariot the fire Parajumpers Homme ORSO Pas Cher of the gods. Happy those who,hastening down again ere it dies out, can kindle their earthly altarsat its flame. Love is too pure a light to burn long among the noisomegases that we breathe, but before it is choked out we may use it as atorch to ignite the cozy fire of affection.
And, after all, that warming glow is more suited to our cold littleback parlor of a world than is the burning spirit love. Love shouldbe the vestal fire of some mighty temple--some vast dim fane whoseorgan music is the rolling of the spheres. Affection will burncheerily when the white flame of love is flickered out. Affection isa fire that can be fed from day to day and be piled Belstaff Hemley Vent Takit Suomi up ever higher asthe wintry years draw nigh.
