Description
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.." "I am always finding ...you..."
“Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills,” Tolstoy wrote at the end of his life in his forgotten correspondence with Gandhi .
''The Artist's Life''
by Wheeler Wilcox (copyright)
With kind permission
"Of all the waltzes the great Strauss wrote,
mad with melody, rhythm--rife
From the very first to the final note,
Give me his "Artist's Life!"
It stirs my blood to my finger ends,
Thrills me and fills me with vague unrest,
And all that is sweetest and saddest blends
Together within my breast.
It brings back that night in the dim arcade,
In love's sweet morning and life's best prime,
When the great brass orchestra played and played,
And set our thoughts to rhyme.
It brings back that Winter of mad delights,
Of leaping pulses and tripping feet,
And those languid moon-washed Summer nights
When we heard the band in the street.
It brings back rapture and glee and glow,
It brings back passion and pain and strife,
And so of all the waltzes I know,
Give me the "Artist's Life."
For it is so full of the dear old time--
So full of the dear friends I knew.
And under its rhythm, and lilt, and rhyme,
I AM ALWAYS FINDING ~~ YOU."
Sonnet 30, Shakespeare:
"But if the while, I think on thee, Dear Friend,
All losses are restored, All sorrows end."
''I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o'life shall run."
Robert Burns:: 'My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose'
“And this , above all, I know to be true.”..........William Shakespeare.....................
"The more I give to thee, the more I have...for both are infinite"
'We were together. I forget the rest.'
― Walt Whitman..............
"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over" .Anon.
The Anon. quote would be perfect as the printed greeting when ordering your Valentine card...................
Valentine greeting card, celebrating LOVE....
There is a language, little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
Its symbols smile upon the land,
Wrought by nature's wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy, to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers.
The Language of Flowers, London, 1875
Celebrating divine love, only Roses can celebrate, to perfection.

When I first saw this there was something so captivating with the RED so forward, but then I saw how you chose to focus the roses, just a bit out of reach - perhaps so much of love is like that. Well done - LOVE is a force that is our undoing - and to that we're better for it. ML&R
VIVA Anderson replied:
OUTDONE! prayers answered! So beautiful, your thoughts, the force of your mind and heart, and I am the better for you! TYSM,VIVA/muse

Superb photography, capturing as it does all the shadowy mysteries in contrast to the burning bright passions of what we call love. And a gorgeous tribute to red roses' classic symbolism of the same.
VIVA Anderson replied:
