For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desir

Summary

This quote suggests that the purest and sweetest form of love still possesses a touch of desire.

It highlights the paradoxical nature of love, where an intense affection can still be accompanied by a hint of desire or passion. This interpretation underscores the complexity and multidimensional nature of love.
