No Gentle Love Quotes

“As the ground blossomed into greenness
With the touch of the summer sun
Matched the color of her eyes.
She gazed out over the shifting seas
And there appeared on the horizon
A tall white sail
That marked his coming.
They say he took her
Violently,
Arrogantly,
As was his fashion,
And made her his.
Theirs was no gentle love
Born of soft romance,
But a flaming passion
Which burned the bitter memories of time,
And set ablaze forever
The shadows of their lives.”
― Rebecca Brandewyne, No Gentle Love
