Let Love Go, If Go She Will.

(I believe - Let Love Go, If Go She Will.)

Let Love Go, If Go She Will


Let love go, if go she will.
Seek not, O fool, her wanton flight to stay.
Of all she gives and takes away
The best remains behind her still.

The best remains behind; in vain
Joy she may give and take again,
Joy she may take and leave us pain,
If yet she leave behind
The constant mind
To meet all fortunes nobly, to endure
All things with a good heart, and still be pure,
Still to be foremost in the foremost cause,
And still be worthy of the love that was.
Love coming is omnipotent indeed,
But not Love going. Let her go. The seed
Springs in the favouring Summer air, and grows,
And waxes strong; and when the Summer goes,
Remains, a perfect tree.

Joy she may give and take again,
Joy she may take and leave us pain.
O Love, and what care we?
For one thing thou hast given, O Love, one thing
Is ours that nothing can remove;
And as the King discrowned is still a King,
The unhappy lover still preserves his love.

- Robert Louis Stevenson


Let Love Go,
If you want Love to still remain.

I Once Had A Sweet Little Doll Dears.

(Today I went for a Japanese Kokeshi (wooden doll) exhibition. Love them and wood is my favorite material for dolls. Watch out for it in a future post in Ghost Walk. Meanwhile, today's post is dedicated to the dolls we grew up with.)

I once had a sweet little doll dears,
The prettiest doll in the world...

- The Lost Doll by Charles Kingsley


But I grew up, dears,
And the little doll didn't.

“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size”

- Mark Twain


And more often than not, the child's loss is less deserving.
