Summary

This quote suggests that distance or separation from someone does not necessarily strengthen love or emotions, as the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" suggests. Instead, it implies that absence or distance can actually ignite passion and desire, represented metaphorically by "heating up the blood." In other words, being apart from someone may make one crave their presence and intensify their feelings.
