There is no worldly pleasure here below
Which by experience doth not folly prove
But among all the follies that I know,

The sweetest folly in the world is love.

Sir Robert Aytoun.

In each thing give him way, cross him in nothing.

Shakespeare
(Antony and Cleopatra).

February II.

Of all the modern schemes of man
That time has brought to bear,
A plague upon the wicked plan
That parts the wedded pair.

For never yet was wight so well aware,

Hood.

But he, at first or last, was trapped in woman's snare.

Spenser

(The Faerie Queene).

There is no land so sacred, no air so pure and so wholesome,

As is the air she breathes, and the soil that is pressed by her footsteps.

Longfellow

(The Courtship of Miles Standish).

Where love is great the littlest doubts are fears; Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.

Shakespeare
(Hamlet).

February 12.

No doubt it would vex, one half of the sex
To see their own husband in horrid green 66
Instead of enjoying a sociable chat,
Still poking his nose into this and to that,
At a gnat, or a bat, or a cat, or a rat.

The Ingoldsby Legends.

She dances featly.

So she does anything; though I report it
That should be silent.

February 14.

Shakespeare

(Winter's Tale).

As dew beneath the wind of morning,
As the sea which whirlwinds waken,
As the birds at thunder's warning,
As aught mute but deeply shaken,
As one who feels an unseen spirit,
Is my heart when thine is near it.

'Tis too late,

I cannot strive against my fate.

February 15.

Shelley.

Longfellow
(The Golden Legend).

Because thou art more noble, and like a king, Thou can'st prevail against my fears, and fling Thy purple round me, till my heart shall grow Too close against thy heart henceforth to know How it shook when all alone.

E. B. Browning.

Can wealth give happiness? look around and see.

Young.
