Follow the Fleet ‚Let's Face the Music and Dance'
There may be trouble ahead,
But while there's moonlight and music and love
and romance,
Let's face the music and dance.
Cartland Barbara
A historical romance is the only kind of book where chastity really counts.
Cooper Alice 1948

‚When I have fears that I may cease to be'
When I behold, upon the night's starred face
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance.

In a ruin that's romantic;

This gold, my dearest, is an useful thing.

If only I hadn't had sisters
How much more romantic I'd be
But my sisters were such little blisters
That all women are sisters to me.
Stravinsky Igor 1882-1971
