To turn your face from clear proofs of deceit,
To drink poison as if it were a soothing liquor,
To disregard gain and delight in being injured.
To believe that heaven can lie contained in hell;
To devote your life and soul to being disillusioned;
This is love; whoever has tasted it, knows. (Lope de Vega)

To turn your face from clear proofs of deceit, To drink poison as if it were a soothing liquor, To disregard gain and delight in being injured. To believe that heaven can lie contained in hell; To devote your life and soul to being disillusioned; This is love; whoever has tasted it, knows.

Lope de Vega
