There's no telling where love may appear

Something in my heart keeps saying

(that) My someplace is here

Even if the sun refused to shine

Even if romance ran out of rhyme

You would still have my heart

Till the end of time

I Love You

There's a special place

within my heart

that only you can fill.

For you had my love

right from the start

and I know you always will.

Happy Valentine's Day !

Sandro Botticelli was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. He belonged to the Florentine school under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, a movement that Giorgio Vasari would characterize less than a hundred years later as a "golden age", a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting. Among his best known works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera.

The Birth of Venus
