The Supreme Conquest: And Other Sermons Preached in America (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Supreme Conquest: And Other Sermons Preached in America

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out ev'n to the edge of doom.

There is an ebullition sometimes misnamed love that quite lacks constancy and persistence: it is a fancy, flash, freak, fever; it is not love at all. But when we get the genuine passion we come as near to divinity as we ever can. As Victor Hugo puts it, A brazier comes to be full of Cinders, not so a star.
