The great fault of men is to forget, during their dream of happiness, that infirmity of nature, Death. Nature must have an end, it must dissolve. Love does not extend its empire over the worms of the coffin; the combats of passions and virtues in a simple heart; the triumph of Christianity over a passion the most ungovernable, and a fear the most terrible; love, and death.
See comment - love in fact is eternal - only lust which is not love - eros - is subject to time!
