"I love my love because I know my love loves me."

"Love feeds on many kinds of food, I know,
Some love for rank, some for duty:
Some give their hearts away for empty show,
And others for youth and beauty.
To love for money all the world is prone:
Some love themselves, and live all lonely:
Give me the love that loves for love alone--
I love that love--I love it only!"

Quoting Alexis from Gilbert and Sullivan's The Sorcerer is always quite enough to get the cloying sentiment out of one's body. What a prick. I love the beauty of the lyrics and music, even as I appreciate the "heros" and "heroines" being nothing of the sort.
