For truth has such a face and such a mien
As to be loved needs only to be seen.
--
Pt. I line 33-34.John Dryden
Doesn't love show its face when it satisfies the need of the loved one, for the loved one's sake alone?
Orson Scott Card
As shines the moon in clouded skies,
She in her poor attire was seen;
One praised her ankles, one her eyes,
One her dark hair and lovesome mien.
So sweet a face, such angel grace,
In all that land had never been.
Cophetua sware a royal oath:
"This beggar maid shall be my queen!"Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
They married well because the marriage-place
Was what they loved. It was neither heaven nor hell.
They were love’s characters come face to face.Wallace Stevens
Loved once for ever loved: how surely sounds
This gospel to me since I learned to list
Truth from thy lips, mine own evangelist.
What thought presumes to set now any bounds
To Love whose being informs us and surrounds?John Evelyn Barlas
To you who are scattered and broken, gather again and mend. Rebuild always, and again I say rebuild. Renew the face of the earth. It is a loved face, but now it is covered with the webs of tired spiders.
