There are four lamps of thanksgiving always before me:
FIRST IS,that I was made from the same earth such a woman as wonderful as you.
SECOND IS: that I have not with all my faults gone after "strange women".You cannot think how a man with selfrestrain is rewarded in this.
THE THIRD IS: that I have learnt to love all things alive in deem preparations for loving you.
THE FOURTH IS: here ends all my previous life,take it,for they led me to you.
GK Chesterton to Frances GK.Chesterton
(A quoting from a letter Chesterton wrote to his fiance, Frances Blogg, which is reprinted in Maisie Ward’s 1942 biography, Gilbert Keith Chesterton)
