"I knew
winter was in store for every leaf
on every tree on that road.
Was inescapable for each one we passed.
And for me."

"Love had the feather and muscle of wings
and had come to live with us,
a brother of fire and air."
- 'Love' by Eavan Boland
I really like this line - it's from a poem in which Boland discusses her changing relationship with her husband. This particular line is from the part of the poem where Boland discusses the initial intensity of their love and I think the image is incredible, so tangible, which I think is exactly the way that Boland was trying to portray their love - delicate and strong all at once, as pure and essential as the elements themselves.
