Very little love is lost in living. A star can fill a universe with light, Lasting not one second less for giving Each of us the gift of its delight. Nor do we love ourselves the less for loving, Taking others' pleasures for our own. In love there is an ecstasy unmoving, Neither more engaged nor less alone, Eternal in its house of flesh and bone.
