IF LOVE'S A SWEET PASSION...

“For you see, each day I love you more; Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” - Rosemonde Gérard


A busy day again today, only this time at home and in the garden. Then shopping and finally in the evening the sweet delights of love…

A delicious moment from Henry Purcell’s opera “The Faerie Queen” – If Love’s A Sweet Passion:



If love's a sweet passion why does it torment?
If a bitter, oh tell me, whence comes my content?
Since I suffer with pleasure, why should I complain,
or grieve at my fate, when I know it’s in vain?
Yet so pleasing the pain is so soft as the dart,
That at once it both wounds me and tickles my heart.
