"The greater the happiness that nature sets before me, the more I lament that he is not here to taste it: the greater the bliss we might enjoy together, the more I feel our present wretchedness apart."
Helen Graham (Ch. XXV : First Absence) - The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848)

Cascade Evening
by Carl J Shoemker
"All made me believe that before the end of winter with the ethereal silhouettes of the boats, and their sudden breakthroughs in the sky, with the lovers along the promenade, in the declining sun, and the hypocritical promise of the spring, all made me believe that before the end of winter... My only regret, Anna... - but is it only one? - ...is not to have finished anything. I left all as a draft, shattered words here and there."
