Love After Love
The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.
Love After Love by Sir Derek Walcott, Nobel Prize Literature 1992
Invitation: “You will love the stranger ...”
