  1. A quotation from Shakespeare

    FRIAR LAWRENCE: These violent delights have violent ends
       And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
       Which, as they kiss, consume.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, sc. 6, l. 9ff (2.6.9-11) (1595)

  5. A quotation from Montaigne

    I see no marriages where the conjugal compatibility sooner fails than those that we contract upon the account of beauty and amorous desires; there should be more solid and constant foundation, and they should proceed with greater circumspection; this furious ardor is worth nothing.
     
    [Je ne voy point de mariages qui faillent plustost, & se troublent, que ceux qui s’acheminent par la beauté, & desirs amoureux : Il y faut des fondemens plus solides, & plus constans, & y marcher d’aguet : cette bouillante allegresse n’y vaut rien.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 3, ch. 5 (3.5), “Of Some Verses of Virgil [Sur des vers de Virgile]” (1586) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]

  9. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But there is a higher order of men so inspired with ardour, and so fortified with resolution, that the world passes before them without influence or regard: these ought to consider themselves as appointed the guardians of mankind: they are placed in an evil world, to exhibit publick examples of good life; and may be said, when they withdraw to solitude, to desert the station which Providence assigned them.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126

  12. A quotation from Molière

    My first reaction was to be afraid
    This ardor was a snare the Devil had laid;
    And I avoided you as a temptation
    That might stand in the way of my salvation.
    But finally I knew, O gracious beauty,
    That passion need not be at odds with duty,
    That I can reconcile it with propriety;
    And so I yield to it without anxiety.
     
    [D’abord j’appréhendai que cette ardeur secrète
    Ne fût du noir esprit une surprise adroite;
    Et même à fuir vos yeux mon cœur se résolut,
    Vous croyant un obstacle à faire mon salut.
    Mais enfin je connus, ô beauté tout aimable!
    Que cette passion peut n’être point coupable,
    Que je puis l’ajuster avecque la pudeur;
    Et c’est ce qui m’y fait abandonner mon cœur.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 3, sc. 3 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967)]

    their #ardor for each other
    I smile and remember mine.

    He walked the park with #ardor. His backpack filled every night. His job as head Pooper Scooper was serious. He wondered how there was so much when no dogs were allowed in the dog park but he never asked questions. It didn't matter what creatures left it, he had to pick it up.

  21. The problem with you
    is the problem with me..

    We equate
    geometrically..

    Relating
    one and the same..

    Double the pain..

    Misery squared..

    Formula eventually
    fractured..

    The problem you see
    is quite elementary...

    I love you
    and you love me
    with equal #ardor..

    Hate complicates the equation
    when we over analyze ourselves..

  26. A quotation from Virgil:

    «««««
    Do the gods light this fire in our hearts
    or does each man’s mad desire become his god?
    [Dine hunc ardorem mentibus addunt,
    Euryale, an sua cuique deus fit dira cupido?]
