Summary

This quote suggests that the appearance of love can be deceptive. A look of genuine love may seem alarming because it is filled with passion, intensity, and strong emotions. However, a look of deceit, although soft and gentle, can attract a lover and manipulate them to gain certain advantages or benefits. It implies that one should be cautious and not easily fall for the superficial or deceptive signs of affection.
