To be loved means to be consumed. To love is to give light with inexhaustible oil. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Love, Mean, Light
Rainer Maria Rilke (1984). “Prose and poetry”, Burns & Oates
To be loved means to be consumed. To love is to give light with inexhaustible oil. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.
