“True love's the gift which God has given
To man alone beneath the heaven”
Walter Scott The Lay of the Last Minstrel
Canto V, stanza 13.
The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805)
Context: True love's the gift which God has given
To man alone beneath the heaven:
It is not fantasy's hot fire,
Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly;
It liveth not in fierce desire,
With dead desire it doth not die;
It is the secret sympathy,
The silver link, the silken tie,
Which heart to heart, and mind to mind
In body and in soul can bind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) Indian spiritual philosopher
