Anam Cara

“Stabant orantes primi transmittere cursum

Tendebantque manus ripae ulterioris amore”

(So they all stood, each praying to be ferried across first

Their hands stretched out in longing for the further shore)

VIRGIL, Aeneid (V1, 313)

“Behold, I am the Ground of thy Beseeching.”

JULIAN of Norwich

“A single beat from the heart of a lover is capable of driving out a hundred sorrows.”
