Excerpt
When, out of His divine imaginings, God gave man the world and all the things of charm and worth that are thereinthings seen, things dreamed of, and things known by instinctHe gave nothing sweeter or more beautiful than the love of a good woman. That much is so clear that whosoever has tasted its truth will cry out upon it for a platitude. He who has not tasted it is, as it were, as yet outside the pale of blessing. What is less certain is whether in the wife and mother the love to the husband or the child is the greater. Many a time it has seemed to me to be the one and many a time the other, so that I have concluded this: whichever calls for the greater sacrifice, draws for the time the greater love.
