93. Love's true manifestation
Love's true manifestation is no sexual act,
no carnal wallowing in sleazy sauces,
no material token, ceremony or vows
but faith alone, fidelity and continuity,
all that which does not show and does not boast
but rather hides in intimacy and precaution,
piously avoiding ostentation, keeping to itself,
safeguarding faithfully all that which does not count
in worldly measures, concentrating on maintaining life,
considering but that which is of vital matter to the soul,
which is the only thing that lasts,
thus being constantly on the defensive
to protect the worthwhile preciousness of love
against all mortal trivialities that drag it down
from highest holiest religion to profane perishability.
