“Could we forbear dispute, and practice love,
We should agree as angels do above.”
Edmund Waller (1606–1687) English poet and politician
Canto III.
Of Divine Love (c. 1686)
Context: Could we forbear dispute, and practice love,
We should agree as angels do above.
Where love presides, not vice alone does find
No entrance there, hut virtues stay behind:
Both faith, and hope, and all the meaner train
Of mortal virtues, at the door remain.
Love only enters as a native there,
For born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here.
“Have patience; the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.”
Clive Barker book Galilee
