I hav read several deskripshuns ov it, but they were written by thoze
who were in love, (or thought they waz), and i wouldn't beleave such
testimony, not even under oath.
Almoste every boddy, sum time in their life, haz bin in love, and if
they think it iz an eazy sensashun tew deskribe, let them set down and
deskribe it, and see if the person who listens tew the deskripshun will
be satisfied with it.
I waz in love once miself for 7 long years, and mi friends all sed i had
a consupshun, but i knu all the time what ailed me, but couldn't
deskribe it.
Now all that i kan rekolekt about this luv sikness iz, that for thoze 7
long years i waz, if enny thing, rather more ov a kondem phool than
ordinary.
Love iz an honorabel disseaze enuff tew hav, bekauze it iz natral; but
enny phellow who haz laid sik with it for 7 long years, after he gits
over it, feels sumthing like the phellow who haz phell down on the ice
when it iz verry wet--he dont feel like talking about it before folks.
