Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss

"Oh foolish Psyche, is it thus you repay my love? After I disobeyed my mother's commands and made you my wife, will you think me a monster and cut off my head? But go; return to your sisters, whose advice you seem to think preferable to mine. I inflict no other punishment on you than to leave you for ever. Love cannot dwell with suspicion."

LOVE is a life full of seasons

Here is a nice section out of " The Prophet" a book composed of 26 poetic essays by Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese artist and poet. One of the chapters is dealing with topic of love. Bellow is a small segment that I like.

"But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears."
