It is certain that there is no other passion which does
produce such contrary effects in so great a degree.
But this may be said for love, that if you strike it
out of the soul, life would be insipid, and our being
but half animated.
Joseph Addison
The consciousness of being loved softens the keenest pang
even at the moment of parting; yea, even the eternal farewell
is robbed of half of its bitterness when uttered in accents
that breathe love to the last sigh.
Joseph Addison
