Notes from Wikiquote
Quoted in Pope Pius XII, 'Discorso in occasione della canonizzazione dei santi: Pietro Chanel, Gaspare Del Bufalo, Giuseppe Pignatelli, Domenico Savio e Maria Crocifissa Di Rosa, vatican.va, 12 June 1954.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
