'In heaven it shall be all a
springtime of beauty,
all an autumn of enjoyment, all a summer of love.
Winter there shall be none;
but here winter is necessary for the
exercise of abnegation
and of the thousand beautiful little virtues
which are practiced in the time of barrenness.'
St. Francis de Sales
Painting: Jules Breton, Last Flowers
