Love Alone Triumphs (The Sonnet)Great people have often said,Truth alone triumphs.I am no great but a plain human,So I say, love alone triumphs.Truth may require intellect,Inquiry requires some cynicism.To be loving needs none of that,Love lights up the darkest chasm.Keep your intellect if you desire,Explore further the arc of truth.But all the discovery means nothing,If countless souls go without food.It is far better to be an insane lover,Than to be a heartless discoverer.
