But these are foolish things to all the wise,
And I love wisdom more than she loves me;

scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
