as reason from the mind’s reasoning.

Such an exquisite sentiment yet you opted to have it read by a computerized lifeless voice. How sad...

Loved the comments of @John McPartlan and @Bulbul Islam. Quite agree to those.

Love and a gentle heart are like a container and the content. A gentle heart is the natural abode of love. Loved this philosophical poem. 'Virtuous man' - the last two words are so apt to the context!

wisely written- Love and the gentle heart are one thing ... Till love, at last, out of its dreaming starts. Woman’s moved likewise by a virtuous man /// like it

Nature craves love, and then creates love king, and makes the heart a palace where he’ll stay, .....the great Dante..

Dante's depiction of love as slumbering is something we can all associate with. The searing thrill of love often burns like a fire and settles into a warm glow, slumbering, happily. True, desire can be rekindled by a beautiful face. That is something we can easily associate with. But it is often in the sudden realisation that the face of your loved one has been obscured to you by the hurly burly of life. A flame flickers and the firelight casts her in a light you have not seen for years. And passion rekindles the fire of love.
