All for Love - Part I [06]

Love - bittersweet, irrepressible - Loosens my limbs and I tremble. (Sappho, ‘To Athis’) Love, when we are in your grip, we may well say, Farewell, caution. (Jean de la Fontaine, ‘Le Lion Amoureux’) L’amour esr un oiseau rebelle. (Prosper Merimee, Carmen) We don’t believe in rheumatism or true love until we have been attacked by them. (Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Aphorisms) Militiae species amoris Love is a kind of warfare. (Ovid) For aught that I could read Could ever hear by tale of history, The course of true love never did run smooth. (William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) The arch-disturber of tranquility...Love, waylayer of all heart. (Gottfried von Strassburg) Pains of love be sweeter far Than all other pleasures are. (John Dryden)
