"It is by loving, and not by being loved, that one can come nearest the soul of another; yea, that, where two love, it is the loving of each other, that originates and perfects and assures their blessedness. I knew that love gives to him that loveth, power over over any soul be loved, even if that soul know him not, bringing him inwardly close to that spirit; a power that cannot be but for good; for in proportion as selfishness intrudes, the love ceases, and the power which springs therefrom dies. Yet all love will, one day, meet with its return. "

"Love me, beloved; Hades and Death

Shall vanish away like a frosty breath;

These hands, that now are at home in thine,

Shall clasp thee again, if thou art still mine;

And thou shalt be mine, my spirit's bride,

In the ceaseless flow of eternity's tide,

If the truest love thy heart can know

Meet the truest love that from mine can flow.

Pray God, beloved, for thee and me,

That our souls may be wedded eternally."

— George MacDonald (The Diary of an Old soul)
