What is the flame that lights the fire and fills my heart with sweet desire? No flickering flame present here, it burns brightly, the price is dear. What name to give this burning thing that consumes my heart while bringing me to my knees in a weakness unknown yet, somehow, I could guess what it is. I could call a name and identify this hot flame. The answer comes like a rushing river, undammed, free and pushing itself toward the sea. Here it is, bold enough for all to see, 'tis love that lights the fire, hot and bright. Love is what fills my heart tonight. Now I gain strength from that knowledge and gather my wits. A collage of visions fill my fevered brow, but I grow stronger even now. Love is the flame that lights the fire. You are the one whom I desire Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth |
