Sorry, sorry, a
thousand apologies I need to say to you. I've been missing from this
blog almost a month, without any post but the most necessary. Fact
is, I'm working on my thesis and I can't do much beside that (except
reading several books late at night or on the way). And I know, I've
been neglecting the Weekend Quote, which I don't intend to do, and I
hope I won't do again in the future, though I very doubt that as long
as I still need to do my thesis.
Well, here's the quote
of the week.
“And were I not, yet is my trouth yplight
And loue auowd to other Lady late,
That to remoue the same I haue no might
To chaunge loue causeless is reproch to warlike knight.”
I take it from Fairy
Queen by Spencer, that's why the
spelling is somewhat old. Those are Guyon's word when Mammon offered
him his daughter as a spouse. Guyon represents “Temperance” and
he passed that test by saying that he couldn't take that offer.
I
especially love the last line. “To change love causeless is
reproach to warlike knight.” Not only to knights, I suppose, but to
all human beings. It isn't fair to 'change love' without reason. The
other party may feel betrayed.
That's
my quote for this week. Please share yours below.
