Love is a sea that hath not any shore,
And help upon that shoreless sea is none, Who sails it sets his eyes on land no more, Yet gladly am I on that voyage gone- For ah, how good it is to sail that sea, What though the longest trip at last be o'er. What though the proudest vessel must go down, My love is on the same big ship with me, And when she drowns, I drown.
Talk not of reason to a man in love,

There is a price to pay for love, for the more happiness we derive from the existence and companionship of other human beings, the more vulnerable we are when there is any cause for apprehension. It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death. �- Eleanor Roosevelt, My Day, April 1, 1939
