Love and the Goddess

"So through the eyes love attains the heart, for the
Eyes are the scouts of the heart.
And the eyes go reconnoitering
for what it would please the heart to possess.

And when they are in full accord and firm all three in one resolve,
at that time perfect love is born from what the eyes have made welcome to
the heart.

For as all true loves know, love is perfect kindness which is born, there
is no doubt, from the heart and the eyes.

- in the tradition of the Troubadour during the 12th Century"

Joseph Campbell, from the Power of Myth
