For me a page of good prose is where one hears the rain. A page of good prose is when one hears the noise of battle....

Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid.
