Through the Lens

There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion

That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble

Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret,

Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Courtship of Miles Standish
