It’s useless to chase it
If it won’t play the game

Not to know love is not to live.

In the mind ever burning,
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning.

It is that fountain and that well
Where pleasure and repentance dwell;
It is perhaps the sauncing bell
That tolls all into heaven or hell:
And this is Love, as I hear tell.
–Sir Walter Raleigh
