Passion is clearly the path <br>but does not bring us to love. <br>It opens the castle of our spirit <br>so that we might find the love which is <br>a mystery hidden there. <br>Love is one of many great fires. <br>Passion is a fire made of many woods, <br>each of which gives off its special odor <br>so we can know the many kinds <br>that are not love. Passion is the paper <br>and twigs that kindle the flames <br>but cannot sustain them. Desire perishes <br>because it tries to be love. <br>Love is eaten away by appetite. <br>Love does not last, but it is different <br>from the passions that do not last. <br>Love lasts by not lasting.<br>Isaiah said each man walks in his own fire<br>for his sins. Love allows us to walk <br>in the sweet music of our particular heart.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Jack+Gilbert">Jack Gilbert</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=415043" data-title="The Great Fires de Jack Gilbert" data-description="Love is apart from all things.
