'Love & Lust' via Shakespeare

Knowing the difference between love and lust is a constant source of grief and difficulty. William Shakespeare, for those who wish to invest themselves in a study of his words, in “Venus and Adonis” compares the two, side by side, the consequences and characteristics.

“Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, but Lust’s effect is tempest after sun; love’s gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lusts sinter comes ere summer half be done; Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies.”
