You who seek an end of love, love yields to business: be busy, and you will be safe.
"Gutta cavat lapidem." (Dripping water carves a stone.)
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
There is a deity within us who breathes that divine fire by which we are animated.
Let love give way to business; give attention to business and you will be safe.
A woman is always buying something.
