I see some people wounded, others bound, others languid, others growing faint - and all from love. Love wounds, love binds, love makes one languish, love leads to weakness. Which of these are not powerful? Which of these is not violent? There are four degrees of fiery love... Do you wish to hear about wounding love? Do you wish to hear about binding love? Do you wish to hear about languid love? Do you wish to hear about fainting love and love that leads to weakness? And so love makes one weak; it leads to languor. Love has chains; love inflicts wounds.
(Richard, 1170)
