Behold what the symphonic song of Love is made of.

There is the song of love from ages past,
the sound of frantic kisses shared by legendary lovers,
the cries of mortal women
ravished by the gods.

There is the valor of mythical heroes,
rising like weapons
lifted against the sky.
There is Jason's precious cry,
the swan's final, fatal song,
and the triumphant hymn
that the first rays of dawn
draw from the silent Memnon.

There is the cry of the Sabine women
at the moment of their abduction.
There are the mating calls of the great cats
deep within the jungle.
There is the deep murmur of sap
climbing through tropical trees,
the thunder of artillery
bringing to its end
the terrible love of nations,
and the waves of the sea,
where life and beauty are born.

Within all these
resounds the song
of all the love in the world.
