In Your Eyes

I remember…
…how you lit up when you first saw me after I had been away.  I knew I was loved by just looking in your eyes… 

Leo Tolstoy to his fiancé, Valeria Arsenev Nov. 2, 1856
I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious – your heart, your soul. Beauty one could get to know and fall in love with in one hour and cease to love it as speedily; but the soul one must learn to know.
