Quote by Martin Farquhar Tupper

God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth, Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume: The wicked work their woe by looking upon love, and hating it: The righteous find their joys in yearning on its loveliness for ever.

God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth, Lo

Summary

This quote suggests that love is an inherent part of God's nature and is present in everything He does. Love is compared to a brilliant fire that can bring happiness or destruction. Those who despise love and refuse to embrace it bring upon themselves suffering and misfortune. On the other hand, the righteous derive joy from admiring and cherishing the beauty of love, which they desire and pursue indefinitely.
