LOVE!

Does it always take two
What is love? - a very funny feeling, a feeling which you've never had before?
Is it true love, is it pure love, is it requited love, is it unconditional love?
What is it?
Incidentally, I don't know how others feel but I don't believe in unconditional love.
True love?
Does love come like a bolt out of the blue?
Can you love things rather than people, animals and birds rather than people?
These are all questions and the biggest is WHAT IS LOVE?
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." - Sophocles
"Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed." - John Tarrant
"We love because it's the only true adventure." - Nikki Giovanni
"Love is like quicksilver in the hand.
Love for an animal
What is the greatest love story that's ever been told, I think I'll leave that to the movie fans to answer.
Biblical definition of love: 1 Corithians
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things.
Sonnet XLIII, from the Portuguese.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning - 1806-1861
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
I have a friend who believes the only true love is love from a mother to her baby. That is her believe.

So many fall victim in their quest for love. Does it really exist or is it a fantasy, a dream.
There has been so much written about love, operas sung, music composed, poet's reveries, authors' themes.
God and Adam
The list is endless
And for a lesson in obscurity here is Sonnet no 13, from Shakespeare.
SONNET 13
O, that you were yourself! but, love, you are
No longer yours than you yourself here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give.
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination: then you were
Yourself again after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
Which husbandry in honour might uphold
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
And barren rage of death's eternal cold?
O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know
You had a father: let your son say so.
So with matters undecided still, I leave you with these pictures, if you will.
Cute love
