An English society poet and art lover takes a more
lightsome view of the mighty puzzle:
Love let the critics say what they list.
Love is a grand impressionist.

And 1t The list OF definitions supposedly exact
and implied might be multiplied indefinitely but

is at puzzle and great blessing Like the
of the famous toast II is sometimes difficult

For love, always is the greatest thing in the
