CUPID COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER

Looking for some ooey-gooey syrupy prose to impress your Valentine today - a la Cyrano de Bergerac?

Thank goodness, just in time for the Hallmark holiday comes "Come Love With Me and Be My Life: The Complete Romantic Poetry of Peter McWilliams" ($12.95, Prelude Press).

McWilliams is one of those Leo Buscaglia types, only sappier. So in honor of the holiday, we'll provide you with a few of his heartfelt musings - perfect filler material for you blank-card buyers.

Love is the most written about, talked about, laughed about and cried about human emotion. I once said: "I will never write about love." And then I loved.

I missed you last night. I missed you this morning. I meditated. I no longer miss you. I love you.

> You make flowers of my hours. today was a bouquet.

If the painting of my life were the Mona Lisa, you'd be the smile.

Love (man's first invention) is a wheel (man's first practical invention). we can either run around it, or get on and GO.

With you at 98.6 I melt.

come over and we will overcome that which has come over us.
