Love and the Orders of Love "Love is the Water, order the ewer Order gathers together
Love flows
Order and love are joined together
As a melody interacts with the harmonies So does love relate to the order
And, as the ear resists dissonance, Even when it has been explained, So the soul resists love without
Order
People often treat these orders
As if they were opinions Which may be adopted or not And changed at will.
But they are given to us as they are. They have effects independent of our understanding. They aren't created, they can only be discovered. We can only recognize the orders from their effects, In the same way we are aware of the existence of soul and consciousness only by their effects upon us."
