Billy Joel

“Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.”
Sir Walter Scott
“Nay, said she, "the saints in Heaven cannot help me now until they take me to my rest. There is no place for me in the world beyond, and all my friends were slain on the day I was taken. Leave me, brave men, and let me care for myself. Already it lightens in the east, and black will be your fate if you are taken. Go, and may the blessing of one who was once a holy nun go with you and guard you from danger."”
Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
