“With chapters on discovery and rapture, love's stratagems, loves lost or unrequited, and undying love, this book covers all the great aspects of love. Using the soaring, resonant words of Shakespeare's famous sonnets as well as more down to earth passages such as the cajoling 'To Celia' by Ben Jonson, all the expressions of falling in love are portrayed. Wise words from Ovid, a passionate appeal from Andrew Marvell, the coldhearted observations of Choderlos de Laclos from Les Liaisons Dangereuses, the haunting verses of La Belle Dame Sans Merci' by John Keats, all bear witness to the symptoms of being transported by love.” Nonfiction discussing famous art pieces with a theme on love. No damage, like new.
