Quote by Robert Burns, Ae Fond Kiss

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!A farewell, and then forever!Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,While the star of hope she leaves him?Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me,Dark despair around benights me.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!A farewell, and then forever

For the day that moral issues cease to be fought over is the day the word human disappears from the race.
