Quote of the day: "She walk in beauty, like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies; and all that's
best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes; thus mellowed to that tender which heaven to gaudy day denies" - Lord BYRON
My grandmother gave me this receipe when I was in my mid-teens:
.
A CURE FOR LOVE
Take 12 ounces of dislike,
1 pound of resolution,
2 grains of common sense
2 ounces of experience,
A large sprig of time
3 quarts of cooling water of consideration
Set them over a gentle fire of love
Sweeten it with sugar of forgetfulness
Skim it with a spoon of melancholy
Put it in the bottom of your heart,
Cork it with the cork of clean conscience.
Let it remain and you will quickly find ease and be restored to
your senses again.
These can all be got at the apothecary at the House of
Understanding,next door to Reason, on Prudent Street.
