For there we loved, and where we love is home, Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts, Though o'er us shine the jasper-lighted dome The chain may lengthen, but it never parts! (Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.)

For there we loved, and where we love is home, Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts, Though o'er us shine the jasper-lighted dome The chain may lengthen, but it never parts!
