LOVE
Love blends earth with heaven: it is the great subversion. Every time a lover says, โI will love you forever,โ they bestow upon a fleeting and ever changing creature two divine attributes: immortality and immutability. The contradiction is truly tragic: the flesh decay, our days are numbered. Nevertheless, we love. And we love with our bodies and souls, with our whole being.
โ Octavio Paz (Mexico City, 1914 โ Ibid., 1998) He was a Mexican poet, essayist, playwright, and diplomat.
โ From the work โThe Double Flame: Love and Eroticism.โ
