Love is the favorite subject of artists and poets throughout the ages. Mary's love for the Christ child is evident on her facial expression on paintings throughout the West. We are familiar with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; and Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous line, "Tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all;" and recently the poet Kahlil Gibran, who wrote "Love is to know the pain of too much tenderness," and "Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." A Severe Mercy, the 1980 National Book Award winner by Sheldon Vanauken, is one of the most beautiful love stories ever written. Popular music is filled with the subject of love, such as the number one song Love is a Many Splendored Thing by the Four Aces in 1955; the 1929 classic Stardust, the last popular rendition by Spanky and Our Gang in 1968; and My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, the theme song from the 1997 movie Titanic. Love makes the world go round!
