Life and Love at Agathon's Symposium
Who among us knows the true origin of love?
Do we love to be whole, again?
Do we strive for loves embrace in hopes of once again becoming children of the Sun? or Earth? Or Moon?
Do we wish to, once again, bounce around the world as not two - but one?
Like in Aristophanes' story of the origin of love?
Can we come to understand that which dictates our earthly desires, here, in the palace of the poet?
What of love Socrates? What wisdom did Diotima entrust you with?
You - who would take you tale of resource and poverty to your grave, for you truly believed that with love - comes deceit.
What conviction - poor, lonely Socrates
In death, be we whole, or wise, or happy,
we allow the mark of our love to carry our name into immortality
Just as love - is immortal
