Love Quote by Eric Nickel
“I am exquisite Love, her Grotesque absence. I am Passion, trembling; never touched. I am Romance, her sadness. I am joy, her Melancholy. Aspiration, The Dream, the Vision, made flesh; yet unseen. I am everything, and nothing. The giggle and the Scream...The Song, and the Silence. The Symphony, and one, that dared to perform it...”
