Voluptuous bloom and fragrance rare
The summer to its rose may bring;
Far sweeter to the wooing air

Too fair, too pure, to bid depart;
No riper love of later years
Can steal its beauty from the heart.

But I think it is hardly an argument against a man's general strength of character, that he should be apt to be mastered by love.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~Rumi
Love! Immortality! it speedily became so hot in my breast, that I thought the geographers had misplaced the equator, and that it now ran directly through my heart. And from my heart poured out the feeling of love;—it poured forth with wild longing into the broad night. The flowers in the garden beneath my window breathed a stronger perfume. Perfumes are the feelings of flowers, and as the human heart feels most powerful emotions in the night, when it believes itself to be alone and unperceived, so also do the flowers, soft-minded, yet ashamed, appear to await for concealing darkness, that they may give themselves wholly up to their feelings, and breathe them out in sweet odours. Pour forth, ye perfumes of my heart, and seek beyond yon blue mountain for the loved one of my dreams! ~Heinrich Heine, "The Hartz Journey" (1824), Pictures of Travel, translated from German by Charles Godfrey Leland, 1855
Love is not a matter of what happens in life. It's a matter of what's happening in your heart. ~Ken Keyes
