Years should be nothing to you. Who asked you to count them or consider them? In the world of wild Nature, time is measured by seasons only-the bird does not know how old it is-the rose-tree does not count its birthdays!

the beginning of my history is - love. It is the beginning of every man and every woman's history, if they are only frank enough to admit it.
