Excerpt from A Platonick Discourse Upon Love
1xwrought the art wherewith I should be brought. From then until now I have sent no messenger, but those that have spoken of me have done so either for their own desire of knowledge or be cause they were heated by this fire. I have chosen thee for my third messenger, and this has been done with reason; for as the first was divine in his sweetness, and the second was a most perfect poet, so art thou a philosopher full of wisdom; and because thou art not a slave of Love, but a friend, I command thee not, but I pray thee to renew my memory in the world, and to tell of my nature and secret conditions, upon which the other speakers have not touched.' Having heard this, that noble Squire answered the Lady, and said: 'my Lady, what you pray of me shall be done, but, because the world is full of divers fash ions, tell me the fashion that you would have me adopt in my speech.' And the Lady made reply: 'i will tell thee one condition of mine, which is that I can verily give the desire of speaking, but cannot give the wisdom and the fashion; but hie thee to those Ladies on the mountain, who are the two Philosophies, Moral and Natural, and they will teach thee the fashion of Speaking.

Excerpt from A Platonick Discourse Upon Love
"Being in a dark wood, and travelling along a hard and rough path, I rested from my labour, and slept. In my slumber I had this vision. Methought that I ascended a very high mountain, from which was seen almost all the world, and above this mountain there was another even higher, from which things yet more distant were beheld. On the first mountain stood a most beauteous Lady, and before her there was a fire so great that it gave warmth to all the world; on the other mountain, which was higher, stood two Ladies, and between them there was a most fair fountain, to which I was wont to go oftentimes to drink. Wherefore, wishing to go thither to drink, as was my usage, it behoves me to pass in front of the first Lady, and, as I passed, I saw a Squire kneeling before her, to whom the Lady was saying these words: 'Thou knowest me by my face and by my bearing right well, that I am Love.' And he answered her: 'My Lady, it is very sooth.' And the Lady said to him: 'Now hearken to me, and listen well to what I would tell thee.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of love through a unique lens. Drawing upon the philosophical writings of Plato and other influential thinkers, the author delves into the nature of beauty and its connection to love, tracing its origins from the divine realm to its manifestation in the human world. The book offers a fascinating insight into the intellectual and artistic currents of the Italian Renaissance. It explores the rediscovery of ancient Greek philosophy, particularly Platonism, and its impact on Renaissance thought and culture. The author reveals how these ideas influenced not only philosophy but also literature and art, impacting the way love and beauty were perceived and expressed. The book weaves together a complex tapestry of ideas, exploring the interconnectedness of divine love, intellectual beauty, and the human experience. It argues that true love is not simply a physical attraction but a spiritual yearning for a higher, more perfect beauty, a journey that can ultimately lead to a state of enlightenment and union with the divine. This book provides a unique and illuminating perspective on love, exploring its origins, its philosophical underpinnings, and its profound implications for human life and spiritual development.
