ОглавлениеAll other love
The love of Christ surpasses all earthly love, and only love that originates with God has any permanence – this is the message of an anonymous fourteenth-century poet.
All other love is like the moon
That waxeth or waneth as flower in plain
As flower that blooms and fadeth soon,
As day that showereth and ends in rain.
All other love begins with bliss,
In weeping and woe makes its ending;
No love there is that’s our whole bliss
But that which rests on heaven’s king.
Anon. (c. 1350)
