About This Quote

They say, "The coward dies many times"; so does the beloved. Didn't the eagle find a fresh liver to tear in Prometheus every time it dined? This quote is about how people lose their feelings for someone but they are still there, ready to be called back into action if the need arises. If you have fallen in love with someone, it may take many attempts to find that connection again. However, don't think that after each fall you are never going to come back around.

You must give the person space to breathe and regain their feelings for you before you can pick up where you left off. The quote shows us that even the most loved of people will not always feel the way they used to. Just like an eagle, they will eat and grow strong again, ready for another go at another fresh liver.
