Poetry Friday - Love


In honor of Valentine's Day (yesterday) here's a little poetic quote from Shakespeare.

No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
And in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage...

As You Like It is one of my favorites. Rosalind and Orlando 4-ever! :)
