bravery under fire

[jay]

love hurts, love scars,
love wounds, and marks,
any heart, not tough,
or strong, enough
to take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
love is like a cloud
holds a lot of rain
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

"Love Hurts" -- Nazareth

It seems to me that mankind has never at all understood the power of Love, for if they did understand him, they would build great temples and altars, and offer great sacrifices in his honor; but this is not done, though it certainly ought to be, for of all the gods he is the greatest lover of mankind, the helper and healer of the human race.

This is part of what I'm translating right now, and every time I revisit it I think of you, because it seems as though you don't see how very loved you are...
