"Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like...?"
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine..."

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), The Secret Garden (1911)

"봄이 오고 있을까요?" 그는 말했다. "어떤 모습일까요?"
"그건 비가 오고 있는데 햇빛이 비치는 거고, 태양이 빛나는데 비가 오고 있는 것 같죠."

- 프랜시스 호지슨 버넷 (Frances Hodgson Burnett) 소설가, 비밀의 화원

Love, Ambrose Bierce

LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder... It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
