It&#8217;s no good trying to smother it all at once. Drop her gradually. You&#8217;ll reach safety in the end. A mountain stream is more impetuous than a river, but the course of the torrent is soon run; the river flows far and ceaselessly. Your love should be like a cloud, it should gradually melt away into the air. It&#8217;s a brutal thing to hate a woman one day whom you worshipped the day before. To make such a sudden change as that, you&#8217;d have to have the heart of a barbarian. just give up paying her attentions; that&#8217;s enough. If a man finishes up by hating a woman, he&#8217;s .either really still in love with her, or else he&#8217;s in a frame of mind for which he won&#8217;t easily find a cure. It is a disgraceful thing that a man and a woman, who were but lately head over ears in love, should suddenly become at daggers drawn. Even Themis disapproves of conduct such as that. A man will often bring an action against a woman and, notwithstanding, still be in love with her. When love leaves no resentment in its train, it departs quite quietly and peaceably. The other day I had fallen in with a young acquaintance of mine. His mistress was close at hand in a litter. He was upbraiding her with the most violent reproaches. just as he was about to serve his writ he exclaimed, &#8220;Let her descend from her litter.&#8221; She did so, and no sooner had he set eyes upon her than he was another man. His hands dropped to his side; his tablets fell from his hands. He flung himself into her arms, crying, &#8220;You have won! You have won!&#8221; It&#8217;s much wiser and much surer to let things drop peaceably than to quit the bed for the law-courts. Let her keep the presents you have given her, without making a fuss. It&#8217;s very often well worth while to make a slight sacrifice.<br \/>\n<em><strong>LOVE&#8217;S CURE<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Ovid<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Image: <span class=\"irc_su\" dir=\"ltr\">Growing Apart (Katelin Kinney)<\/span>\u00a0 |\u00a0 https:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8029\/29128331742_b059a56d55_b.jpg<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best way to get a fire under is to tackle it methodically, steadily and surely.
