Art of Love

First published one thousand years ago, Ovid’s Art Of Love is extraordinarily timeless: ‘Wine inflames the mind and prepares the passions for love’; ‘Do not be timid in your promises’; ‘Whether they yield to you or not, they still like to be asked’; ‘New thrills captivate us more than those we already have’; ‘Make your first meeting seem to be by chance’; ‘Let no bad breath come from a sour mouth or the rank odour of goat emanate from your armpits…let the others be guilty of such things.
