7 quotes

Love hath so long possessed me for his own
And made his lordship so familiar.

La Vita Nuova (1293)

I saw within Its depth how It conceives
all things in a single volume bound by Love,
of which the universe is the scattered leaves.

The Divine Comedy (1308)

The Love which moves the sun and the other stars.

Love, which insists that love shall mutual be.

Love, that all gentle hearts so quickly know.

Love and the gracious heart are a single thing...
one can no more be without the other
than the reasoning mind without its reason.

La Vita Nuova (1293)

Love with delight discourses in my mind
Upon my lady's admirable gifts...
Beyond the range of human intellect.

Il Convivio (1304)
