I have always found this poem to be one of the best takes on friendship and loving relationships.
On being emphasised with
Oh, the comfort
The inexpressible comfort of feeling
safe with a person,
Having neither to weigh thoughts,
Nor measure words – but pouring them
All right out – just as they are
Chaff and grain together
Certain that a faithful hand will
Take and sift them
Keep what is worth keeping
and with the breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
George Eliot

Thanks hild.
She was surely talking about her lover, Lewis (?) ...she found precious little elsewhere! One of my favourite authors. I'd be pushed to pick a favourite of hers... 😄
