“When the first time of love is over, there comes a something better still. Then comes that other love; that faithful friendship which never changes, and which will accompany you with its calm light through the whole of life.

And then everything turns and changes itself to the best.” IfsFirstsMayStillsWholeLightTurnsFriendshipLove IsFirst TimeCalmFaithfulNever ChangeSomething BetterAccompanyAccompany You Author:Fredrika Bremer
