Maybe if King Lear had been in love...

'O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars Are in the the poorest thing superfluous. Allow not nature more than Nature needs, Man's life is cheap as beast's!' ~ King Lear, Act 2, Scene 4 The truth is simple We are in love What need we creamsicle sunrises or pink turtledoves Our hearts beat as one As each day is run Wherefore wish for magenta sunsets or gossamer nets Love's in our thoughts ~ Our needs are naught

And thanks for wading through the King Lear quote there at the start, Richard! Peace and Joy, Gershon
