“The more a man gazes on what he loves, the more he sets fire to his heart and bastes it with bacon fat.”
Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose

“كما أن البحرلا يمكن تجفيفه، فإن أوجاع المحب وتباريح الغرام لا يمكن حصرها في الروايات”
Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose

“From here to Jerusalem no woman has a more beautiful neck;
it was smooth and soft to the touch.
She had a bosom as white has the snow upon a branch,
when it has just fallen.
Her body as well made and svelte;
you would not have had to seek anywhere on earth to find a woman with a more beautiful body.
She had a pretty chaplet of gold embroidery. There was never a girl more elegant or better arrayed;
nor would I have described her right. Above the chaplet of gold embroidery was one of fresh roses, and in her hand she held a mirror,
and she had arranged her hair with a rich head-band.”
Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose
