"Delicious is a just and firm encounter of two, in a thought, in a feeling. How beautiful, on their approach to the beating heart, the steps and forms of the gifted and the true! The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed: there is no winter and no night: all tragedies, all ennuis vanish--all duties even: nothing fills the proceeding eternity but the forms all radiant of beloved persons. Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should be rejoined its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years."(Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friendship)
