-
I believe that love that is true and real
-
creates a respite from death.
-
All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well,
-
which is the same thing.
-
And when the man who is
-
brave and true looks Death squarely in the face,
-
like some rhino-hunters I know,
-
or Belmonte, who's truly brave.
-
It is because they love with sufficient passion,
-
to push death out of their minds,
-
until it returns, as it does, to all men.
-
And then you must make really good love again.
