Two shall be born, the whole wide world apart,
And speak in different tongues and have no thought
Each of the other’s being and has no heed;
And these o’er unknown seas to unknown lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death,
And all unconsciously shape every act,
And bend each wandering step to this one end–
That one day out of darkness they shall meet
And read life’s meaning in each other’s eyes.
No hour in all a woman’s life means more to her than the hour when she knows that she is loved and that she loves. Her heart has found its home. She has been chosen from among all women in the world by a noble and worthy man to be the queen of his life. Her heart responds to the affection that has poured itself upon her. She is very happy. Her happiness makes her face radiant.
This hour ought to be with her a time of deep thoughtfulness. It should be a time of fearlessness. Perfect love casts out fear. No girl is ready to announce her engagement if she is anxious and afraid in any degree concerning the matter. She must have perfect trust in the man to whom she has pledged her love. If she has not, she should wait longer till she is sure.
