Love is an art

love is an art,

like music, dance,

or painting pictures.

It thrives on light,

and imagination,

and daring.

The heart of the lover

learns wisdom

from a stone,

a song,

a blossom,

a breeze.

~Rainier Maria Rilke

Polka Dot Repose

There’s something

strange and powerful

about black-and-white imagery.

~Stefan Kanfer

Each morning sees some task begun, 

each evening sees it close; 

Something attempted, something done, 

has earned a night's repose.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
