Ah, love, let us be true…

…to one another!
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
- Matthew Arnold, “Dover Beach”
(This has NOTHING to do with how wonderful and magic the election result of yesterday in the USA was. Just love this.)
