Intent on one great love, perfect, Requited and for ever, I missed love's everywhere Small presence, thousand-guised.


Intent on one great love, perfect, Requited and for ever, I

Summary

This quote emphasizes the danger of being solely focused on finding one great love. In such a pursuit, one becomes oblivious to the smaller yet equally meaningful forms of love that exist all around us. By fixating on an idealized, requited, and everlasting love, the speaker overlooks the diverse and disguised manifestations of love that can bring joy and fulfillment. It serves as a reminder to appreciate the different shapes and sizes of love rather than losing oneself in the pursuit of an unattainable perfection.
