Beware the Wrath of Plato

Can we contemplate a love between friends phycically attracted but spiritually exempt from the common consummation? Can we sustain a love that never ensds, a touch of hands, a kiss, to obviate the threat from consummation? Can we contemplate a love complete within our understanding, give all to each other as never before, stand firm. reject ridicule and pain united in avoidanceof the disaster to be wrought by Plato? Disobedience fires that ancient, vengeful master. We must contemplatethe love that never ends, the innocence of love between two friends eschewing consummation, consummation is for the weak.
