Quote preview background for Luís de Camões
Love is a fire that burns unseen,a wound that aches yet isn__ felt,an always discontent contentment,a pain that rages without hurting,a longing for nothing but to long,a loneliness in the midst of people,a never feeling pleased when pleased,a passion that gains when lost in thought.It__ being enslaved of your own free will;it__ counting your defeat a victory;it__ staying loyal to your killer.But if it__ so self-contradictory,how can Love, when Love chooses,bring human hearts into sympathy?
