heart veins refuge
I felt the tributaries of his veins, wished to enter into his bloodstream, travel there, dissolved and bodiless, to take refuge in the thick walled chambers of his heart.
dream heart sleep
For I had come back, and I dreamed once more in the cool air of the Highlands. And the voice of my dream still echoed through ears and heart, repeated with the sound of Brianna's sleeping breath. "You are mine," it had said. "Mine. And I will not let you go.
heart faces my-heart
Your face is my heart
heart shelter brown
Mo Nighean donn," he whispered," mo chridhe. My brown lass, my heart." Come to me. Cover me. Shelter me. a bhean, heal me. Burn with me, as I burn for you.
heart soul faces
Your face is my heart Sassenach, and the love of you is my soul
heart compassion whole
You are my courage, as I am your conscience," he whispered. "You are my heart---and I your compassion. We are neither of us whole, alone. Do ye not know that, Sassenach?

summer wind law
And when my body shall cease, my soul will still be yours, Claire? I swear by my hope of heaven, I will not be parted from you."
