The philosopher and the divine love represent major chapters in the spiritual history of the Greeks and humanity.
Uncontrollable natural desire has no history, just like any biological function. It gains history and becomes an object of contemplation when the sting of desire makes us understand existence as a paradoxical fact, unyielding to biological functional criteria.
Every natural process responds to a specific need and is defined by it, as if that need encompasses all of life. Love alone has the exceptional privilege of transcending need and electrifying existence, which then feels, in its materiality, purely spiritual.
Love writes history.
