Description
To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.
But then, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
― Federico García Lorca, Blood Wedding and Yerma & J.M. Barrie, The Little Minister
a spin-off from my fic, Falling for my own Brother
Foreword
“A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.”
― Abraham Cowley
