"It is thought a disgrace to love unrequited. But the great will see that true love cannot be unrequited. True love transcends the unworthy object, and dwells and broods on the eternal, and when the poor
interposed
mask crumbles, it is not sad, but feels rid of so much earth, and feels its independency the surer."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
