Infatuation turns to love, and brings with it the hope that, if elevated to the utmost level, it could be forever. Idealistic, perhaps, and certainly unexpected from someone who's so often tried to keep his own feet and the feet of others on the ground. But what can I say? I feel like flying...

Pendragon, I envy you and your marriage full, base to brim, with love. Perhaps I can someday follow in my brother's footsteps.
