Love and the Gentle Heart by Dante Alighieri
(Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is generally considered the greatest of Italian poets, and also one of the greatest poets that Western civilization has produced)
Love and the gentle heart are one thing, just as the poet says in his verse, each from the other one as well divorced as reason from the mind reasoning.
Nature craves love, and then creates love king, and makes the heart a palace where he stay, perhaps a shorter or a longer day, breathing quietly, gently slumbering.
Then beauty in a virtuous womans face makes the eyes yearn, and strikes the heart, so that the eyes reborn again, and often, rooting there with longing, stays,
Till love, at last, out of its dreaming starts. Woman moved likewise by a virtuous man.
