Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (born November 5, 1850) made her mark with a hugely successful collection of love poems called Poems of Passion, published in 1883, which had been first rejected by another publisher on the grounds that it was immoral. More collections followed, including Poems of Pleasure, Poems of Sentiment, Gems, and World Voices. Her poem Solitude is perhaps best known, containing the popular lines “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; / Weep, and you weep alone.”
