Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth,

But the rose with all its thorns excels them both.

Christina Rossetti
Love loves for ever,
And finds a sort of joy in pain,
And gives with nought to take again,
And loves too well to end in vain:
Is the gain small then?
Love laughs at "never",
Outlives our life, exceeds the span
Appointed to mere mortal man:
All which love is and does and can
Is all in all then.

Christina Rossetti
The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
