Life and Love

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Human love has been the poetic theme of man from the beginning, the one imperishable theme, the theme appealing most powerfully to the imagi nation and the heart, promising solution to the hard problems of life, and offering consolation and satisfaction to the yearning soul. Man is ever looking towards the ideal love to lift and save him; the universal reproductive instinct seems to him to promise continuance and progress to his spirit as well as to his body.
