That is one of the sublimest lines in all
literature. It Is the final definition of love
by the worlds greatest reader of the human

who truly love, love in this sublime way.
Men seldom do.
Woman's most glorious endowment is
the power to awaken and hold the pure
and honest love of a worthy man. When
she loses it and still loves on, no one in
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The. woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her

fiourishing condition.
