A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.

A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.

Summary

This quote suggests that within the experience of love lies a profound sadness that cannot be adequately expressed or described. Love has the capacity to evoke emotions and feelings that go beyond simple happiness or joy, and can lead to a deep sense of regret, longing, and sorrow. It implies that love carries a certain burden or price, as it exposes individuals to vulnerability, heartbreak, and the potential for loss. The profundity of this pity, or sadness, is such that it is unable to be fully conveyed or comprehended by words alone.
