Product Description
Excerpt from A Platonick Discourse Upon Love "Being in a dark wood, and travelling along a hard and rough path, I rested from my labour, and slept. In my slumber I had this vision.

On the first mountain stood a most beauteous Lady, and before her there was a fire so great that it gave warmth to all the world; on the other mountain, which was higher, stood two Ladies, and between them there was a most fair fountain, to which I was wont to go oftentimes to drink. Wherefore, wishing to go thither to drink, as was my usage, it behoves me to pass in front of the first Lady, and, as I passed, I saw a Squire kneeling before her, to whom the Lady was saying these words: 'Thou knowest me by my face and by my bearing right well, that I am Love.' And he answered her: 'My Lady, it is very sooth.' And the Lady said to him: 'Now hearken to me, and listen well to what I would tell thee.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of love through a unique lens. Drawing upon the philosophical writings of Plato and other influential thinkers, the author delves into the nature of beauty and its connection to love, tracing its origins from the divine realm to its manifestation in the human world.

The book weaves together a complex tapestry of ideas, exploring the interconnectedness of divine love, intellectual beauty, and the human experience.
