In the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson, "In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." I would add that it's also a young woman's thoughts that may turn to love, as might the thoughts of people of all ages. Plus, many plants and animals propagate, stressing that there is a type of "love" that goes beyond mere emotions. It's an actual energy that envelops the planet. Sigmund Freud, by Max Halberstadt, 1921 Does this sound like some metaphysical pablum? Love is an energy beyond mere emotions? It's not.
