The brain may take advice, but
not the heart, and love having no
geography, knows no
boundaries: weight and sink it
deep, no matter, it will rise and
find the surface: and why not?
any love is natural and beautiful
that lies within a person's
nature; only hyprocrites would
hold a man responsible for what
he loves, emotional illiterates
and those of righteous envy,
who, in their agitated concern,
mistake so frequently the arrow
pointing to heaven for the one
that leads to hell.
