About This Quote
Time goes on crutches till love have all his rites. The quotation is a very short one, and it is not clear whether the reference to “rites” is to a religious ceremony or a wedding ceremony. The first line of this poem makes it clear that time can be used as a crutch, which emphasizes the idea of time being a barrier for those who are in love. The second line suggests that love has its rites, meaning that marriage, for example, involves a number of procedures and rituals.
