“To have loved and lost, either by that total disenchantment which leaves compassion as the sole substitute for love which can exist no more, or by the slow torment which is obliged to let go day by day all that constitutes the diviner part of love - namely, reverence, belief, and trust, yet clings desperately to the only thing left it, a long-suffering apologetic tenderness - this lot is probably the hardest any woman can have to bear.” LongSufferingBeliefLostLeftCompassionBearsLetting GoHardestSubstitutesReverenceSoleTendernessTormentObligedApologeticLong SufferingDisenchantmentLoved And Lost Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
“Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dreams, in the disinterested play of thought.
