[00:00.05]Explanation of Love
[00:02.73]
[00:04.61]There is a place where love begins
[00:07.64]And a place where love ends.
[00:11.75]There is a touch of two hands that foils all dictionaries.
[00:18.04]There is a look of eyes fierce
[00:20.18]As a big Bethlehem open hearth furnace
[00:24.15]Or a little green-fire acetylene torch.
[00:28.67]There are single careless bywords portentous
[00:32.13]As a big bend in the Mississippi River.
[00:35.96]Hands, eyes, bywords–
[00:39.99]Out of these love makes battlegrounds and workshops.
[00:45.70]There is a pair of shoes love wears
[00:47.80]And the coming is a mystery.
[00:51.28]There is a warning love sends
[00:52.77]And the cost of it is never written till long afterward.
[00:57.43]There are explanations of love in all languages
[01:01.53]And not one found wiser than this:
[01:06.70]There is a place where love begins
[01:09.81]And a place where love ends—
[01:13.16]And love asks nothing.
[01:16.62]
