The Valley of Love

• "Love is not something to be borne./ To work out, to reasonably apply"
• "try to hear the cry/ Of a wolf baying at the candid moon/ And you shall sense the nature of love"
• "To love be transparent, ready to give all/ Or else you have none of love's flame"
• "You are ruled by your senses, a pall/ Of reason chokes your will to give/ Yourself whole"

Main Ideas: devoting yourself completely, reason prevents us from giving ourselves, you cannot feel love fully if you do not give your all, love can be too strong/destructive (compared to a raging fire) if you are too taken up by love, love is not easy
