Three simple words, but what a wealth of meaning and feeling. When your heart is throbbing with emotions and your body is on fire, nothing can say it like these simple words. Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible. it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling their delight as our own. Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
