Mitch Albom

Robert Bridges quote: "My delight and thy delight Walking, like two angels white, In..."
My delight and thy delight Walking, like two angels white, In the gardens of the night. Robert Bridges
Oh, I can't explain. When I like people immensely, I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.

Oscar Wilde
