to a pretty lie. If someone is
telling me the truth, that is
when I will give my heart.”

The Song of Angels
“The earth has grown old
with its burden of care,
but at Christmas it always is young,
the heart of the jewel
burns lustrous and fair,
and its soul full of music
breaks the air,
when the song of angels is sung.”
~ Phillips Brooks
The Hopeful Romantic Hyacinth
HYACINTH
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
“I am in love with him
To whom a hyacinth is dearer
Than I shall ever be dear.
On nights when the field-mice
Are abroad, he cannot sleep.
He hears their narrow teeth
At the bulbs of his hyacinths.
But the gnawing at my heart…
He does not hear.”
