His Only Resource for Knowledge was His Local Priest

"I have known what I thought was love only once before. It brought nothing but grief. But what I feel for you I now realise is true love because it never stops hurting." He kissed her hand. "But if this is all we can have, then I take the pain and I thank all the gods of the world for giving me this time with you. Yes, I love you... I always have and I will continue to do so from a distance until I take my last breath. You never need to doubt me."
