"There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good and it is as though we must hunger after them. If only I could capture the trust that a loving child gives its mother without condition and place it in the hearts of two fighting nations negotiating a treaty of peace, there would be no more war between them. If only I could realise by day all that I dare to dream by night, then all my ambitions would be achieved and my objectives accomplished without struggle. If only.........if only I could be to you, all that you are to me, I'd make you the happiest woman in the world, Sheila, and crown you in a moorland sprig of Haworth's heather and thus fashion a halo for your head."
