Warning !! Long Post !! Sorry ...
Oh Isis - just when everyone is going troppo - you bring the light & magic back.
Got to love you girl

Now you have inspired me to quote this speech from the movie "Stardust" spoken by Claire Danes who was a star watching earth for millions of years before she fell to earth ... and met Tristan ...
Why this piece you say ??
1) it touches me & I want to share it with you

2) it has a remarkably similar content in parts as Cummings "I Carry Your Heart" I submitted a month ago
3) it touches on the subject of human disputes & reminded me of some of the agro circulating the Forum at the moment!
4) continues the romantic and emotional education of Sextus (only joking mate !)
Hope you and other like minded souls enjoy on the beautiful afternoon !!

QUOTE
You know when I said I knew little about love?
That wasn't true. I know a lot about love.
I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable.
All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again.
But when I see the way that mankind loves...
You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.
So yes, I know that love is unconditional.
But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and...
What I'm trying to say, Tristan is...
I think I love you.
Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself.
My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more.
It belongs to you.
And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion.
Nothing but knowing you loved me too.
Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
