Love and Let Love! "All You Need Is Love" meant empathy, intimacy, support, selflessness, and spiritual solidarity. These are the tonics to alienation, segregation, hostility, selfishness, and existential emptiness. The expression of love is a sacred act and a spiritual pact. It may be fleeting, maybe only a cherished moment, or perhaps as deep as life is long. But the selfless act of giving of ourselves for another's benefit lifts us into the better angels of our nature. Hate only degrades and destroys. Love nourishes the individual soul and the human species. Without it, we will not survive. 'Love is love and Hate ain't'; it can't be legislated, leveled, or lynched. Let no one put it asunder. This is a tribute to love; it's stirrings, it's courtship, its consumation, its playful dynamics and trusts, its gameplaying, its limitless range. Love is the antidote to all harm; it is the pulsebeat of the human race. Along the way, supporting evidence is given by the Greek poet Sappho; Pompeii murals; 1000-year-old Indian temples; Chinese paintings; Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints; 16th-to-20th century Western paintings by artists Charles Mengin, the School of Fountainebleau, Francis Boucher, Gustav Courbet, Dante Rosetti, Charles Boutibonne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Aubrey Beardsley, Alphonse Mucha, Franz von Bayros, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Gerda Wegener, Claude Cahun, Hannah Hoch, Marie Laurencin, Hannah "Gluck" Gluckstein, Tamara de Lempicka, Maxfield Parrish <b>...</b>
