The poets before Islam sang about revenge and fighting in a way that even nauseates us.
"The Literature of Ecstasy"
Albert Mordell
Goethe, who in his youth swore to dedicate his life to the service of love, and-unhappily-kept his vow; Goethe, who nauseates us with love in his romances and lyrics, who even in the Eternal City cannot forget his worship of "Amor" and his visits to his "Liebchen," never misuses love in his dramas.
"Wagner's Tristan und Isolde"
George Ainslie Hight
That this concubinage is detestable is not seen by the man himself who is guilty of it; because after the closing of heaven he becomes a spiritual insanity: but a chaste wife has a clear view of it, because she is a conjugial love, and this love nauseates such concubinage; wherefore also many such wives refuse actual connection with their husbands afterwards, as that which would defile their chastity by the contagion of lust adhering to the men from their courtezans.
"The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love"
Emanuel Swedenborg
