exemplo iunctae tibi sint in amore columbae,
masculus et totum femina coniugium.
errat, qui finem vesani quaerit amoris:
verus amor nullum novit habere modum.
‘Let doves yoked in love be your model, male and female, a perfect union. He errs who seeks to put a limit to the madness of love: true love knows no bounds.’
(Propertius 2.15.27-30, transl. G. P. Goold)
This is a perfect Valentine’s Day Post. I noticed our local mourning doves are already making sweet, sweet love in the trees!
