They knew that by means of this divine art they would possess the hearts as well as the minds of men , and obtain not only the awe of the ignorant but also the love of those whose lives they had preserved . It is innocent , ordinary , readily understood , collective self love , the love of an endangered common good . For having enumerated the loves of each , by which they had come into the power and dominion of Cupid , he sets in array a procession , in which Jupiter , with the other gods , is led in chains before the chariot of him , celebrating a triumph . Somebody wrote a work called " The Loves of the Triangles " ; I never read it , but I am sure that if triangles ever were loved , they were loved for being triangular . The browsers , the biters , the barkers , the hairy coats of field and forest , the squirrel in the oak , the thousand-footed creeper in the dust , as they share with us the gift of life , share with us the love of an ideal : strive like us - like us are tempted to grow weary of the struggle - to do well ; like us receive at times unmerited refreshment , visitings of support , returns of courage ; and are condemned like us to be crucified between that double law of the members and the will . Paul does not offer encouragement to those who want a world without God , whether they are modernists or postmodernists ; rather , he rejoices that God is creating in Christ a new world built on and characterized by the love of those who walk by the Spirit ( 5:18 ) . Behold , in this sense there is knowledge without the love of that which is or may be known .
