More from John Beckwith
- And in the middle of all this, I started to think about the one thing that makes me feel really good and makes immediate sense...and it's you.
- Absence diminishes commonplace passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and kindles fire.
- Absence is to love as wind to fire; it extinguishes the little flame, it fans the big.
- Absence makes the heart grow fonder: Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!
- Absence, with all its pains, is, by this charming moment, wiped away.
- Accept loss forever
