Gore Vidal once said “The important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself.”
Love is innate, irrepressible and takes many forms. The opening verse of a mother sitting a grave reminds me of Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Septimus Smith left for “France to save an England which consisted almost entirely of Shakespeare's plays and Miss Isabel Pole in a green dress walking in the square.”
Or as Bowie succintly puts it "to save the slogans".
Love is not loving but love is insatiable. It is built into the fabric of every one of us. Call it a soul, call it an evolutional benefit. Whatever it is, we need it. For country, for the opposite or same sex, for our parents, for our siblings. It cannot be escaped and is hard wired into our response to the world.
