For this is love's truth; she joins two in one being, makes sweet sour, strangers neighbors, and the lowly noble.
HadewijchDo good under all circumstances, but with no care for any profit, or any blessedness, or any damnation, or any salvation, or any martyrdom; but all you do or omit should be for the honor of Love.
HadewijchTake care, you who wish / to deal with names / for love. Behind their sweetness / and wrath, nothing endures. / Nothing but wounds and kisses.
Hadewijch
