It's a famous sentence from the Bible that's inspired many paintings :) The verse is:
"Exivit ergo Jesus portans coronam spineam, et purpureum vestimentum. Et dicit eis : Ecce homo" (John 19:5).
"Exivit ergo Jesus portans coronam spineam, et purpureum vestimentum. Et dicit eis : Ecce homo" (John 19:5).
“When you love you should not say ‘God is in my heart,’ but rather ‘I am in the heart of God.’ And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.” -The Prophet
“Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these
be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its
melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks
for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.” The Prophet

(@Elise, I’m glad you like it :) I can post the entire poem later this evening, if you’re interested)
First thought: Spam
( I keep getting spammed on Instagram. Like random people keep asking me what my job is and I’ll say things like “I poach elephants” or “I sell sugar packets to diabetics” in the hopes they’ll think I’m a horrible person and leave me alone, but the spam won’t stop 😕).
