Loving is not just looking at each other,
it's looking in the same direction.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.
                                                                ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
 
No love, no friendship
can cross the path of our destiny
without leaving some mark on it forever.

* Many Franz Liszt Scholars believed that Scheffer used Liszt as a model for many of his creations.  In this painting, perhaps he used Liszt for both Christ and Satan.
