Sensuality often hastens the "Growth of Love" so much that the roots remain weak and are easily torn up.

About This Quote

This quote from a poem by the poet Robert Herrick illustrates how sensuality can destroy love. In this poem, the lover, who is tired of waiting for his lover to come to his bed, leaves all her belongings behind in a pile when he goes out into the world to have sex with someone else. The lover then returns to his previous lover and says: "O what a treasure I find you in your bed! And yet, I think our love is dead." This illustrates how sensuality can ruin a relationship.
