"Hurry not another's favor; neither force them hastily to surrender to thee. For they goeth into love as they goeth into the waters at the seashore; first a hand and then a lip goeth they in by littles. They diveth not, they leapeth not from the pier; but by gentle shocks and cries of protest they entereth slowly; yet when the waters of love encompass them, then they are supported. They swimmeth in their joy; they floateth on the tide of happiness."
- Gelett Burgess
