Sex is the root, eroticism the stem, and love the flower. And the fruit? The fruits of love are intangible. This is one of love鈥檚 mysteries.
Human love is the union of two beings subject to time and its accidents: change, sickness, death. Although it does not save us from time, it opens it a crack, so that in a flash love鈥檚 contradictory nature is manifest: that vivacity which endlessly destroys itself and is reborn, which is always both now and never. Therefore all love, even the most blissful, is tragic.
