✿❀ڿڰۣ

I hold it true, whate’er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; ’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. (Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam, 27, 1850)

Though a swift stream is divided by a boulder in its headlong flow, though divided, on it rushes, and at last unites again. (Sutoku, 1119-1164)

Любовь никогда не перестает.
O amor jamais acaba.
L’amour ne périt jamais.

Die Liebe höret nimmer auf.
L’amore non verrà mai meno.
Miłość nigdy nie ustaje.
