    “If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
    One cordial in this melancholy vale,

    In other’s arms breathe out the tender tale,”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    “True. There is
    a beautiful Jesus.
    He is frozen to his bones like a chunk of beef.
    How desperately he wanted to pull his arms in!
    How desperately I touch his vertical and horizontal axes!
    But I can’t. Need is not quite belief.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Strange is this alien despotism of Sleep which takes two persons lying in each other’s arms & separates them leagues, continents, asunder.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
