“To lovers, I devise their imaginary world, with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky, the red, red roses by the wall, the snow of the hawthorn, the sweet strains of music, and aught else they may desire to figure to each other the lastingness and beauty of their love.” WorldLoveNeedsMayDesireStarsSkyFiguresSweetWallLoversRedRoseSnowImaginaryStrainRed RoseImaginary World Author:Williston Fish

“Outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness. I look down into the warm, earthy world.
