its such a profound declaration on love that it forces one to think of love from perspectives formerly unknown.

An engaging discussion on various interpretations of love. Greek philosophers of old were infinitely gayer than most people will ever realize.

Wasn't as much about love as I had thought it to be. Interesting view points relating Love to be a god or a spirit. But at the end of the book it was as simple as stating love is the attainment of knowledge and pure beauty.
