was not uncommon to receive a rude or insulting Valentine such as this one: Tis all in vain your simpering looks, You never can incline, For all your bustles, stays and curls To find a Valentine.
Today, Valentines come in all
shapes and sizes, with heart-shaped candies and cakes. The Valentine symbols live on, winding back into the past, and bespeaking the future as well:
Winter is winding down. Spring, with its flowers and birdsong, is at last in sight. Birds will mate, as always
and human beings mil continue to fall in love and marry. To be alive and a part of all this is truly delicious!”
