Paul Delaroche - The Young Martyr (1855)
Erleuchtung by Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach, 1898.
In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.

she’s actually Swedish artist and singer Jonna Jinton and she’s singing Kulning, an ancient Swedish herding call
