Love, which is quickly kindled in a gentle heart,
seized this one for the fair form
that was taken from me-and the way of it afflicts me still.
Love, which absolves no loved one from loving,
seized me so strongly with delight in him,
that, as you see, it does not leave me even now.
Love brought us to one death.
-- La Divina Commedia: Inferno V, vv. 100-06
