Khalil GibranRead
Love is the veil between lover and lover.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Love creates a connection that transcends physical presence and understanding.
In this quote, Khalil Gibran suggests that love acts as a mystic barrier, allowing lovers to connect deeply while also obscuring their individual realities. The 'veil' symbolizes how love enhances the bond between people, creating an intimate space where they can share their emotions and experiences, yet simultaneously, it signifies a distance that can prevent full disclosure of one's true self.

When he thought of her, it rather amazed him, that he had let that girl with her violin go. Now, of course, he saw that her self-effacing proposal was quite irrelevant. All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them. Love and patience- if only he had had them both at once- would surely have seen them both through.
