If Pity come as Pity, bid her stay; But if in guise of Love, chase her away.

Then is Love blest, when from the cup of the body he drinks the wine of the soul.

Thou canst not pray to God without praying to Love, but mayest pray to Love without praying to God.

Art achieves all little things by absolute truth: but all her great things need some admixture of illusion.

In the religion of Love the courtesan is a heretic; but the nun is an atheist.

Every veil secretly desires to be lifted, except the veil of Hypocrisy.

Trust Love, nor fear to soar upon his track. The wings that bore to Heaven will bear thee back.
