"And because we love her."
Indeed, they did love her. Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically- to those who hardly think about us in return.
The Once and Future King- T. H. White

"Sometimes I forget that the world is not on the same schedule as I. That everything is not dying, or that if it is dying it will return to life, what will a little sun and the usual encouragement. Sometimes I think: I am older than this tree, older than this bench, older than the rain. And yet. I'm not older than the rain. It's been falling for years and after I go it will keep on falling."
