I really enjoyed this post, @honedue! Love for me is one of the engines that moves the world. And if it's linked to literature, it moves more. I'm a hardcore romantic! Those who cry for the love of the characters and suffer the love between the lines. I've been lucky enough to be a muse of love poems and I think there's an eternization of feeling when you write. Every time you want to relive it, it's there, intact, waiting for you on the page. Stendhal, a French writer, said: "Love is a beautiful flower, but you have to have the courage to pick it up at the edge of a precipice". Loving is not for cowards!
