Is there one winner in love. If so, there must then be a loser. I love the arrangement of words but do not agree with some opinions expressed.

C. Marlowe constantly writes in Beauty, my favourite poet from that period, such a beauty his language, and after all he had a University degree, but very sad that he was killed when in prison

THREE: and the other to win. The poem concludes with the famous line, "Who ever loved that loved not at first sight? " which suggests that love is an instinctual emotion that cannot be controlled or predicted 5 STARS this poem deserves as The Classic Poem Of The Day

ONE: a sonnet that explores the theme of love and fate. The poem suggests that love is not something that can be controlled by an individual's will, but rather it is predetermined by fate.

How to understand the sentence that We wish one should love, the other win? Dose it mean their must be a winner between the couples?
