Quote by Paul Tillich

I loved thee beautiful and kind, And plighted an eternal vow; So altered are thy face and mind, t'were perjury to love thee now!

I loved thee beautiful and kind, And plighted an eternal vow

Summary

This quote expresses the speaker's acknowledgment of a drastic change in the person they once loved. In the past, they were captivated by the person's beauty and kindness, pledging their eternal devotion. However, the individual's appearance and character have transformed so profoundly that continuing to love them would be betraying the sincere commitment made previously. The quote encapsulates the realization that the person the speaker once adored has changed to the extent that their love for them is no longer possible or justifiable.
