What do I know about love? Love has many faces: love of man to woman and woman to man is a curse and the madness, it sends a Set to torment all living things; there is the love of kings to power - from this love are born of war; love traders to wealth - it comes from greed and poverty; scientists to wisdom, and this bird did not seize by the tail; of a mother for her child is a Holy love; and finally love of a servant to his master or mistress - it is something I know.
