Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Friendship is a sheltering tree.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
