Marie Corelli Quote

A man, if he be strong and healthy, is always more or less ashamed when Love, with a single effort, proves him to be weaker than a blade of grass swaying in the wind. What! all his dignity, all his resoluteness, all his authority, swept down by the light touch of a willow wand?

Thelma (1895)
