“Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.”
Love requires no explanation. It just is. It has always existed, although seemingly hidden deep beneath the obvious. Balzac is a timeless storyteller. He reminds us love is infinite and everywhere. It touches us. It is us.
Thank you for sharing this! The power of love is one of those things that continues to amaze and awe me. I am reminded of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's words, "Someday after mastering winds, waves, tides and gravity, we shall harness the energies of love. And then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will discover fire."
