First Line: Love knows neither law nor
Alternate Author Name(s): Immanuel Ben Solomon Of Rome; Immanuel Di Roma
Subject(s): Jews; Mysticism - Judaism; Judaism


Love knows neither law nor
rule, is deaf & blind to them,
admits no impediments. Love's
strength cannot be measured or
his will opposed. Love runs
the world, fills this earth and
neither pater noster nor any
other rite or charm will work.
Nobody puts down his pride
or turns off his power. Nobody
slips out of Amor's
wide nets, and to all my
petitions the same old answer:
"That's the way I want it!"
