Love seeketh only self to please, To bind another to its delight, Joys in another's loss of ease, And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite.

William Blake

William Blake
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
William Blake
And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.
William Blake
