Edward Lear
(12 May 1812 - 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator and writer known for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form which he popularised.

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!--
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
Book of Nonsense, Limerick 1 (1846).
How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!
Who has written such volumes of stuff!
Some think him ill-tempered and queer,
But a few think him pleasant enough.
How Pleasant to Know Mr. Lear, st. 1 (1871).

Augusta Ada Byron King,
Countess of Lovelace (December 10, 1815 London, England - November 27, 1852 Marylebone, London, England , born Augusta Ada Byron,
is mainly known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer,
the analytical engine. She is also known as the "first programmer",
though she might more accurately be described as the first publisher of a program,
as she published a program written by Babbage.
She was also a keen promoter of computing seeing how influential its possibilities, though unrealized as yet, might be.
Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1846):
" I then suggested that she add some notes to Menabrea's memoir, an idea which was immediately adopted. We discussed together the various illustrations that might be introduced: I suggested several but the selection was entirely her own. So also was the algebraic working out of the different problems, except, indeed, that relating to the numbers of Bernoulli, which I had offered to do to save Lady Lovelace the trouble. This she sent back to me for an amendment, having detected a grave mistake which I had made in the process.

Kissing Songs
Child and teenage culture includes a number of simple songs about kissing, love and romance, with some revolving around heartbreak and others focussing on enduring love. One of the most famous songs is a children's song often used to tease other children who are thought to feel affection toward each other:
Mary and Jerry sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love, then comes marriage
Then comes a baby in the baby carriage

A kiss
is the touching of one person's lips to another place,
which is used as an expression of affection or to show respect, and as a greeting or a farewell; kissing can be used to express romantic affection
or sexual desire. The word comes from Old English cyssan "to kiss",
in turn from coss "a kiss".
It is generally considered one of the strongest ways to show affection.
* A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
o Ingrid Bergman
* Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
* If you are ever in doubt as to whether or not you should kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.
o Thomas Carlyle
* Kissing-and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down.
o Drew Barrymore
* Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful.
o Drew Barrymore
* A legal kiss is never as good as a stolen one.
o Guy de Maupassant

Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality
is a 1905 work by Sigmund Freud which advanced his theory of sexuality, in particular its relation to childhood. Together with Interpretations of Dreams, these essays are one of Freud's most momentous and original contributions to human knowledge.
In short, Freud argued that "perversion" was present even among the healthy, and that the path towards a mature and normal sexual attitude began not at puberty but at early childhood (see psychosexual development). Looking at children, Freud claimed to find a number of practices which looked innocuous but were really forms of sexual activity (thumb sucking was a primary example, the implications being fairly obvious). Freud also sought to link his theory of the unconscious put forward in The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) and his work on hysteria by means of positing sexuality as the driving force of both neuroses (through repression) and perversion. It also included the concepts of penis envy, castration anxiety, and the Oedipus complex.

Thank you-~ewa~i like the painting a lot, the painter uses soft and tender color, the woman is young, it seems to me she is waiting for and looking forward for her Romeo, and maybe at this moment he is in a hurry on wings of love

Bed of Roses
" Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us."
--Voltaire
Even a bed of roses has thorns. But they need not diminish our ability to enjoy the fragrance. Unless we choose to allow it. And we need not allow it.
May you always be willing to move quickly past the thorns.
