The Well Spring Of Love Within The Heart. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

There is an enriching fountain of love
within each of us at the soul level.

To know what is love
You need not go outside of yourself.
There is the well spring of love within the heart.


(Graphic: Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806)

Description: An allegory on the theme of love. This painting has a riveting sense of drama, heightened contrasts of light and shadow, and a restricted palette redolent of nocturnal mystery—characteristics that indicate a new Romantic sensibility. Fragonard's intimate allegories are among the earliest and most eloquent expressions of a new vision of romantic love as an all-consuming experience of near-mystical communion—a vision that was worlds apart from the blithe, libertine spirit of the Rococo era
