Brave hearts

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

The brave heart is the first essential. All the weaponry and shielding in the armory will do no good if a man cowers timidly behind it. It's the brave heart that makes the arms effective!

Two Alike

What happiness a friend, a fellow kind,
whose gentle hands attend a heart entwined,
for, long as loving likens two,
they consummate a life anew,
aligned;

but none may know the ties, when so profane,
and none, with open eyes, will ascertain
the bond, invisible, but true,
that suffering cannot subdue,nor strain;

and so, this holy whole, incorporate
and incorporeal, is our oblate,to lift an everlasting hue
for treasures that we hold and do
await.
