ON HEARING OF LOVE

On hearing of overpowering love
tremble and be moved like an aesthete.
But, content, recall what your imagination
fashioned for you; this first;
and then the rest - lesser things -
that in your life you experienced and enjoyed,
things more real and tangible.
- Of such loves you were not deprived.
