I hate and I love. Perhaps you ask why I do so. I do not know, but I feel it, and am in agony

It is such a secret place, the land of tears.

Let your tears come. Let them water your soul.

~Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince

~Eileen Mayhew

Weeping willows are wide, tall trees with curtains of drooping branches that sweep the ground.

Their small, narrow leaves appear in very late winter, giving the trees a golden look.

They become green as they mature and turn yellow in autumn.

These fast-growing trees have great beauty, but they also drop many tears.
