Quote by John Donne

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.

Summary

This quote refers to the fleeting nature of love that is solely based on physical appearance. It suggests that when a relationship is built solely on superficial attractiveness, the love within it is also temporary. Once the external beauty diminishes or fades, the foundation of the relationship crumbles, and so does the love that was solely built upon it. In essence, the quote implies that genuine and lasting love goes beyond mere physical appearance, as it requires deeper emotional connections and shared values to withstand the test of time.
