Spiritual Quote of the Day (Christina Rossetti, on Love, ‘The Only Everlasting Duty’)

“Love is all happiness, love is all beauty,
Love is the crown of flaxen heads and hoary;
Love is the only everlasting duty;
And love is chronicled in endless story,
And kindles endless glory.”—English poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), “Love” (1847), in The Poetical Works of Christina Georgina Rossetti, edited by William Michael Rossetti (1906)
