Love conquers all when winning a soul, but the first rendered is understanding. Use reason and love are two things that cannot be together.
Are the affections how the lives, that no more certain sign of having last little bit, that have lasted long;
are how the lines that run from the center to the circumference, that more continuous, less united.
Of all the instruments with which the nature armed it, disarms it, the time. Loosens its bow, with that no longer shoots; dulls its arrows, with that no longer hurts; open your eyes, with what you see what you didn't see, and it makes grow wings in you, with what you fly and flees.
All healing time, makes you forget everything, spends everything, digests everything, everything ends. Dare the time the marble columns, much more the hearts of meat?
So the ancients wisely painted the love a boy, because there is no love so robust that it becomes old.
The second remedy of love is the absence . Many diseases are cured only with the change of air; love with the land.
Is love like the moon, which having Earth in the middle , give it by eclipsed.
And what land there is, that's not the land of forgetfulness, if you' ve passed to another land? If the dead are so forgetful, having so little land between them and the living, who can expect and what can be expected of the absentees?
If four feet of earth cause such effects; many leagues what will do? In the distant past of shooting of arrow, there are not enough forces the love.
The eyes are the openings of the heart, where breathes, and of here comes, that the heart in the presence, where the eye has opened, they evaporate and exhales affections, but in the absence in which they are covered by distance what succeeds to them?
Like the pot on the fire, that covered, and not having where to breathe, conceives the heat, and re-centers itself around and maybe it bursts, so the heart missing, lacking the breath of sight, and having nowhere to output the fire, gathers within itself all the strength and momentum , which grows naturally, and lights and tapers luck, not fitting in the same heart, breaks for the largest and most extraordinary effects.
The nature and the art heal contrary with contrary. Being therefore ingratitude, the greatest opposite of love, who doubts that this third remedy of love would also be the last and most effective ... ?
The virtue that gives such effectiveness, if I consider it well, Is to have this remedy of his part the reason.
Decrease love, the time, cool down love, the absence, is without reason that all complain, but that the ingratitude, it changes love and convert it into boredom, the same reason approves it, persuades it, and it seems the boss.
What sentence fairer , than to deprive of love, an ingrate? Time is nature, the absence can be force, the ingratitude is always crime.
The time takes of love the novelty. Absence takes away communication. Ingratitude, takes away the why.
And injured the love in the brain, and wounded in heart, how can live?
It is therefore the fourth and final remedy of love , with whom no one left of heal, improve the object. They say a love is paid with another, and more certain is , that love with another goes out.
Just as two contraries in intense degree cannot be together in one subject, so In the same heart cannot fit two loves: because the love that is not intense, it is not love.
From here comes, which they meet and plead over the place, always is the victory for the better object.
It is the love between the affections, as the light between the qualities.
Commonly it is said , that the greatest contrast of light is darkness, and is not so. The greatest contrast of a light, is a greater light..
The stars shine in the darkness, and shine more, but appearing the Sun, which is the greater light, the stars disappear.
