(this poem gives me great inspiration every time I read it) By: Oliver Wendell Holmes TO THE PORTRAIT OF "**A LADY**." //(in the Athenœum Gallery)//

Well, Miss, I wonder where you live, I wonder what's your name, I wonder how you came to be In such a stylish frame; Perhaps you were a favorite child, Perhaps an only one; Perhaps your friends were not aware You had your portrait done!

Yet you must be a harmless soul; I cannot think that Sin Would care to throw his loaded dice With such a stake to win; I cannot think you would provoke The poet's wicked pen, Or make young women bite their lips, Or ruin fine young men.

Pray, did you ever hear, my love, Of boys that go about, Who, for a very trifling sum, Will snip one's picture out?

"The Greatest Distance Divides Us Not Because You're Oblivious to My Love When I Stand In front Of You, But Because We Love Each Other Knowing Fate Will Forever Keep Us Apart."  A Chinese tall story
