Enjoy The Road

An idea from The Book of the Courtier

Love is a wish to enjoy beauty, and the body is only the doorway to it. Young lovers who chase the body find boredom, torment, or both. An older man can climb a stair: from one beloved face to beauty in all bodies, then to beauty’s source.

From The Book of the Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione
