DANAE: LOVE IS IDLE, by EURIPIDES Poet's Biography First Line: Love is a sluggard, and for these things lives Last Line: By wealthy men alone his power is felt. | |||
LOVE is a sluggard, and for these things lives: Mirrors he loves, and yellowed locks of hair, But work he hates. One proof there is of this: No man who seeks his bread has ever loved, By wealthy men alone his power is felt. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALCESTIS: BEREAVEMENT by EURIPIDES ALCESTIS: CHORUS.
