Robert Graves has long been a weakness of mine. Well, some of his stuff, anyway. This one has been on my mind a lot recently.
Love At First Sight
"Love at first sight," some say, misnaming
Discovery of twinned helplessness
Against the huge tug of procreation.
But friendship at first sight? This also
Catches fiercely at the surprised heart
So that the cheek blanches and then blushes.
Robert Graves (1895-1985)
