The wondrous moment of our meeting . . . I well remember you appear Before me like a vision fleeting, A beauty's angel pure and clear. In hopeless ennui surrounding The worldly bustle, to my ear For long your tender voice kept sounding, F...

At Last, Elizabeth Akers Allen

If questioning would make us wise, Christopher Brennan

2008-05-06T10:35:50Z

This was love at first sight, Thomas Mann

2008-04-24T13:58:25Z
