What does love look like?

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
--Saint Augustine

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

These are the gifts

--Robert Louis Stevenson

Love is the emblem

Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time, effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
