Images from a Lovely Time

"A good wife contains so many persons in herself.  What is [A3] not to me?  She is my daughter and my mother, my pupil and my teacher, my subject and my sovereign; and always, holding these all in solution, my trusty comrade, friend, shipmate, fellow soldier.  My mistress; but at the same time all that any man friend (and I have had good ones) has ever been to me … Solomon calls his bride Sister.  Could a woman be a complete wife unless, for a moment, in one particular mood, a man felt almost inclined to call her Brother."
Gefeliciteerd, dear - en voor de hele familie.
