Another famous Tocayo Robert Louis Stevenson writes about the power of Falling in Love and Loving Beyond the Fall.
We say we “fall” in love precisely because we know we can get bruised, know that the trap door it opens beneath our feet hurls us into depths we are entirely unprepared to fathom.
The interesting question, the transformative question, is what happens after the fall.
“It is a subject in which neither intuition nor the behavior of others will help the philosopher to the truth,” Robert Louis Stevenson (November 13, 1850–December 3, 1894) writes in his long, passionate, searching essay on falling in love.
The Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer is best known for the novels Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
