The noblest relationship is marriage, that is, love. Its nobility resides in its altruism, the desire to serve another beyond all the pleasures of the relationship; and in its refusal ever to regard the other as a thing, an object, a utilizability. Sex is an exchange of pleasures, of needs; love is a giving without return. It is this giving without return, this helping without reward, this surplus of pure good, that identifies the uniqueness of man as well as the true nature of the true marriage. This is the quintessence the great alchemy of sex is for.
John Fowles

There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.
Ernest Hemingway

Triad, Jefferson Airplane

At first I couldn't tell if the 8 was reflective or transparent, until I noticed I could see the diamond through it, on both sides, so it's transparent. Good luck in the contest, John.

---If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it---

John, I recognize the quote of EH, and to me he has hit the nail on its head. Think that everyone who has lost a beloved one, will agree with me.
You've made this wonderful render to a touching one for me!
S+F! Thanks, my friend!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I think this is the logo eight of the Native American Tribes used when gathering to sell their wares at the Pow Wow, Strad.
I don't blame them, it is beautiful.
The quote from Ernest is so true. My prayers go out to those who know it all to well.
Good luck in the contest.
