Antique Valentine |
Here it is again...Valentine's Day! It is a festival celebrated on 14 February all over the world, mostly in the United States but also in European countries and Australia. The origins of the festival may be quite surprising - the holiday commemorates Christian martyrs called Valentinus. The day first became associated with love in the circle of English poet Geoffrey Chaucer in the Middle Ages, when courtly love was in bloom. By the 15th century the festival had already been known as a festival of people in love - lovers sent each other cards (known as 'valentines'), flowers and confectionery.

I invite you to listen to one of the songs I associate with love
- 'When I fall in love'.
When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.
In a restless world like this is,
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart.
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way, too,
Is when I'll fall in love with you.
~interlude~
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way, too,
Is when I'll fall in love with you.
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love.
