“This idea the Greeks had of him is best summed up not by a poet, but by a philosopher, Plato: “Love – Eros – makes his home in men’s hearts, but not in every heart, for where there is hardness he departs. His greatest glory is that he cannot do wrong nor allow it; force never comes near him. For all men serve him of their own free will. And he whom Love touches not walks in darkness.”
