PART I RIGHTEOUSNESS
CHAPTER 8
LOVE
71. Where is the bar that can close in the gates of love? The gentle tear-drops of lovers' eyes are sure to proclaim its presence.
72. Those that love not live only for themselves : as to those that love, their very bones are for others' occasions.
73. They say it is to taste again of love that the soul hath consented once more to be encased in bone.
74. Love maketh the heart tender towards all: and tenderness yieldeth that priceless treasure called friendship.
75. The blessing of the blessed, they say, is only the reward of a constant love.
