The mere habit of learning to love is the thing
What beautiful hyacinths I have just learnt to love a hyacinth. And how might you learn By accident or argument Your sister taught me; I cannot tell how. I am naturally indifferent about flowers. But now you love a hyacinth. So much the better. You have gained a new source of enjoyment, and it is well to have as many holds upon happiness as possible. And though the love of a hyacinth may be rather domestic, who can tell, the sentiment once raised, but you may in time come to love a rose
