CHORUS
Behold the birth of Love and Hate,
As ancient sages taught,[1]
While some repel, 'tis others' fate
To be by Cupid caught.
- ↑ Empedocles and the Greek School of Philosophers which followed his guidance, taught that the elements of nature were brought into combination and separated from each other by the powers of Love and Hate, and that from the influence of these forces all things were created.
