They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the "blaze of passion" often falsely ascribed to love. They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the hearth under their feet.

-Boris Pasternak

How quick bright things come to confusion.
-Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
