She Was Not Quite What You Would Call Unrefined

A tale of love. And love lost. Coming to Smashwords and Amazon this Memorial Day weekend!

Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;

Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;

Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears.

What is it else? A madness most discreet,

A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.

Romeo. Romeo and Juliet, Act One, Scene One, 1599

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

William Butler Yeats, The Second Coming, 1919
