Receive what cheer you may. The night is long that never finds the day.

You have lost no reputation at all, unless you repute yourself such a loser.

Receive what cheer you may. The night is long that never finds the day.

This thing of darkness I acknowlege mine. There is nothing more confining than the prison we don't know we are in.

This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker, this huge hill of flesh!

Many can brook the weather that love not the wind.

My story starts at sea... a perilous voyage to an unknown land... a shipwreck... The wild waters roar and heave... The brave vessel is dashed all to pieces, and all the helpless souls within her drowned... all save one... a lady... whose soul is greater than the ocean... and her spirit stronger than the sea's embrace... Not for her a watery end, but a new life beginning on a stranger shore. It will be a love story... for she will be my heroine for all time. And her name will be... Viola.
