She taught me to love by loving me, and I learned — rather slowly; I wasn’t too good a pupil, being set in my ways and lacking her natural talent. But I did learn. Learned that supreme happiness lies in wanting to keep another person safe and warm and happy, and being privileged to try.

Of them that love him; his own love bestowed
Shall do it.
