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

So it was that I opted for television, with its much broader time limits, for The Winds of War.''
