"Fate means that my love for you shall be burnt into the deepest grain of my spirit by the most wonderful encaustic process of despair, hope, intoxicating joy, patience, absence, desperation, and some day – if God is good enough – this picture of a great love shall receive a transparent varnish of happy possession to bring out of its colours and keep them ever so very fresher.
Byron Caldwell Smith to Kate Stephens, April 2nd, 1875 (from Passionate Love Letters: An Anthology of Desire by Michelle Lovric)
