Art is the conversation between lovers. Art offers an opening for the heart. True art makes the divine silence in the soul Break into applause.

Forget not when dear friend to friend returned,
Forget not days gone by, forget them not!
My mouth has tasted bitterness, and learned
To drink the envenomed cup of mortal lot;
Forget not when a sweeter draught was mine,
Loud rose the songs of them that drank that wine — Forget them not!

Forget not loyal lovers long since dead,
Though faith and loyalty should be forgot.
